You are right Randy. I did some quick tests and IMPORT STRUCTURE command will
not update existing tables. The documentation says "If an imported table has
the same name as a local one, an error is generated and the import operation is
aborted.” and this is the case.
So Laurent must have been confused and maybe thought, why create fields with
SQL when you could create tables and fields with the IMPORT STRUCTURE command.
You can do that, but what we want to do is update existing tables and fields
and that is currently not possible with this command.
So we are stuck again with the inability to set the “map NULL values to blank”
field property when creating fields with SQL.
