Hello Kamesh,

Let me be sure that I understand also.

You have an existing Derby db with hundreds of records that you want to import into a Base embedded database - yes?

You currently have 2 Base odb files - yes?

One Base file connects to Derby via JDBC and the other is the embedded database.

You open both then drag a table object from the Derby connected Base file window to the other Base window to launch the import wizard - yes?

However I am facing error
messages like the import trying to insert Varchar in a Blob column, and if I
ask to not import that column  it says it fails to create the primary key
which is a UUid . The option to generate UUid appears grayed out in the
import screen. OObase tries importing a single line and then quits

The varchar column is in the Derby database and the blob field is in the Base embedded database - is that right?

The UUid column has to be in the Derby database as Base's embedded database (HSQLdb) does not have that as a native data type. So are you importing the actual UUid column data to a column in the embedded database of type Big Int and is the PK field for the table - yes?
The import column is defined as AutoIncrement?

If all of that is true then most likely the problem with the UUid (PK) sounds like a simple mistake your are making in the import wizard...I say simple cause it sounds like something I have done a bunch of time. The varchar, blob thing well...

Well, do you mind if I just ask your those questions first.

Thanks

Drew
