I'm updating a client's database from an old version of my app, in 4D v12, to the latest version, using v16. There have been various modifications to the structure in between the version they are using and the current version. Tables have been added, deleted, repurposed. The result is that when the database is opened in the v16 version, some of the tables are lost.
I figured out that I should be able to fix this by using GET MISSING TABLE NAMES and REGENERATE MISSING TABLE. But some of the missing table names are the same as some "live" table names in the updated structure. So I changed the names of those tables in the old structure by adding "_x" to each one. e.g. "data_61" becomes "data_61_x" etc. However, after opening the database in the updated (v16) structure, the missing table names list shows the ORIGINAL table names, not the MODIFIED ONES! "data_61_x" has reverted to "data_61", etc. So if I try to use REGENERATE MISSING TABLE, nothing happens because there is already a table with that name. Any ideas about this?
