Alistair,To the best of my knowledge, if you are relying on the LIST COLUMN
commandyou see only the table columns you DO NOT see the columns defined in
viewsyou need to access the SYS_COLUMNS table to determine if there is a
conflict
between previously defined view columns and the View columns you are tryingto
create.
The SYS_COLUMNS table contains column names for both TABLE Columns and
ViewColumns. The LIST COLUMNS command only shows info on Table columns not
viewcolumns.

Thanks,
I don't _think_ that's the case as part of the reason I laid the view out so
precisely was to try and double/triple check the types and see what each
referred to in both selects.
Nevertheless, I will go back and look again just in case.
And Albert, thanks, I will try quoting the dates as well.
Regards,
Alastair.

Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - View: Union / Group By - cannot see what's wrong
Thank you very much, Razzak, setting ColCheck off did the trick.
I notice that if I turn ColCheck back on I immediately get the error message
again as soon as I try to use the view.
I have looked at the names in the view almost endlessly today to try and see
where the error was so I am puzzled as to where R:Base finds a difference.
I think I would rather correct that than run with ColCheck set off all the
time. Obviously I can change the setting in a command file before and after use
but what has raised this problem is the error message is received whenever I
reconstruct the database from unloads. (But not with Reload.)
This may be a complete misinterpretation but I also have a suspicion that this
particular error has been causing problems with my user privileges. Is that
possible? If so, I may have to run with ColCheck set to off all the time. With
that in mind when was ColCheck introduced and/or was it changed with the
upgrade to v10?
Again thanks,
Regards,
Alastair.

Alastair,
A few questions ...
01. What is the COLCHECK setting?
SHOW COLCHECK
02. What results do you get when turning OFF the COLCHECK setting.
SET COLCHECK OFF
FYI, COLCHECK ON setting checks the consistency for column names and data types
when making views.
Hope that provides you with some blue's clues ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.

I know it's Friday but can anybody see what's wrong with this view (an image so
that hopefully the email system doesn't mangle my layout):
If it hasn't, there should be 6 columns so that I could see the columns and
data types (first 5 rows remmed out) more easily.
I am not sure that I am defining the time entries correctly - I've tried with
as well as without quotes.
I am pretty sure I have the data types right - despite the error message.
I am not sure that I have the group by right. I only really need to group by:
T21.Concert_Date, T22.Full_Name, T23.Full_Name (date, venue name & artist name).
