Snail mail strikes again! Odd. I sent this email at 8;59 this morning and never saw it on the list.
So I resent and that email did make it. Now my first one finally arrives. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "ttc inc" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2010 8:59:30 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [RBASE-L] - Project table from ODBC table Anyone have any ideas about the below. The projected table has a column data type issue on the column name ORDUNIQE --Column is defined in other tables as shown below.. R>list col orduniqe Column Name Table Name Attributes ------------------ ------------------ --------------------------------------- ORDUNIQE OEORDH Type : BIGNUM (19, 0) QualKey Comment: #ORDUNIQ OEORDHO Type : BIGNUM (19, 0) QualKey Comment: #ORDUNIQ ORDEROPTIONAL Type : BIGNUM (19, 0) QualKey Comment: #ORDUNIQ tmpDiscount Type : BIGNUM (19, 0) I now project a temp table from an ODBC table R>proj temp tmporders from orderoptional using all where compdate = 0 and Optfield = 'FRTCOST' Successful project operation, 926 rows generated. However, the projected table has the incorrect data t ype for column ORDUNIQE R>list col orduniqe Column Name Table Name Attributes ------------------ ------------------ --------------------------------------- ORDUNIQE OEORDH Type : BIGNUM (19, 0) QualKey Comment: #ORDUNIQ OEORDHO Type : BIGNUM (19, 0) QualKey Comment: #ORDUNIQ ORDEROPTIONAL Type : BIGNUM (19, 0) QualKey Comment: #ORDUNIQ ********* tmporders Type : BIGNUM (38, 0) ******** tmpDiscount Type : BIGNUM (19, 0) The original ODBC table has the same data type and size as all other tables. R>list table OrderOptional Table: ORDEROPTIONAL No Lock(s) Descr: Server table - ORDEROPTIONAL HFINC No. Column Name Attributes --- ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ 1 ORDUNIQe Type : BIGNUM (19, 0) QualKey Comment: #ORDUNIQ 2 ORDNUMBER Type : TEXT 22 QualKey 3 COMPDATE Type : NUMERIC ( 9, 0) QualKey 4 ORDTOTAL Type : CURRENCY QualKey 5 OPTFIELD Type : TEXT 12 QualKey 6 VALUE Type : TEXT 60 QualKey Current number of rows: SERVER Any thoughts? The two issues is that #1, the BigNum size does not match and more importantly, I need to issue an ALTER TABLE command on the PROJECTED table tmporders. The command fails as it returns an error stating that ORDUNIQe is used in another table and its type cannot be redefined. version V8. -Bob
