Hello. 1 - I created a column NOT NUL in a table (ALTER TABLE MYTABLE ADD NEW_COLUMN INTEGER NOT NULL). There were already some records in the table. FB didn´t raise any warning or exception. 2 - I created a backup file from MYDB.FDB using gbak. FB didn´t raise any warning or exception. 3- I tried to restore the backup file to a new MYDB.FDB and FB raises and error: gbak: ERROR:validation error for column NAME, value "*** null ***"
Let´s accept than the step 3 is coherent. So, why can I execute step 1 without troubles? Well, someone can tell me to use -no_validity to restore the database. Ok, it works. But, the column that should be NOT NULL will change, without warning, and I have to check my tables after restoring DB. I am using FB 2.5 and I tried using FB 3.0 too. Is it as I described or there is another way to treat this? -- Atenciosamente, Hugo Eyng ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Documentation item on the main (top) menu.
