Hi Pierre, IMHO you cannot use variables for database management commands, like creating or modifying tables and fields.
Variables are for sending values to be stored in the data or retrieving them. Like: "select col1, col2 from mytable into :array1,: array2" or "insert into mytable (col1, col2) values (:var1, :var2)" That is why the fist attempt does not work.
