Doesn't mean it's a reserved word. It's a keyword. Still, it is sensible
to prefix or suffix these kinds of words to avoid possible future issues.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Schema Change Question
Group
I am using the latest release of Turbo 8 (8.0.22.31102)
When I go to change a column definition, the Data Designer hangs and I
have
to use Task Manager to end the rbase session.
The column I am changing is the only one in all of my tables.(it is
defined
only once in the database). The column in question comes from a converted
database created in Rbase for Dos 6.1. The reason for the change is that
it
showed as a reserved word in Turbo8. The column name is size text (8).
I make the change, click Save, get no message that the table is saved.
Then
I click Save and Exit and it still hangs.
Then I click Close and I'm informed that there have been changes, do I
want
to save changes ? If I click Yes nothing happens, if I click No the Data
Designer closes and there is now a locked temp table with the same number
of
columns and rows as the table I was attempting to change.
I now have to use Task Manager to end the rbase session. I then re-open
Rbase and have to delete the temp table. I then look at the table I had
attempted to change the column in (see above) and the column definition
changed to what I wanted when I first started.
Has anyone seen this behavior and if so what was the resolution ?
Thanks
