Restucturing Table from within ObjectPal (PWIN 4.5)

Restucturing Table from within ObjectPal (PWIN 4.5)

Post by bcl.. » Mon, 02 Jan 1995 13:38:54



I have a need to include  a table restructure within a method.
I am upgrading an installation and one of the actions is restructuring a table.
I would like to not have to go onsite and intended to down load a form with a push
button that would do all the necessary work.
I can't see any way of doing this.
In earlier DOS versions I would simply have recorded
the keystrokes in a script and called the script at the appropriate point.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

So include a query or a script that copies the old table to the new one
with slight record changes...

1. Restucturing Table from within ObjectPal (PWIN 4.5)

Choices:

As this seems like a one time only, as KS suggested, do a query (or send
an empty copy of the new table, or do a create), and populate as
appropriate.

Other choices:

Use SendKeys, which would be similar to doing a playback of a recorded
script in DOS.  I don't like this, because to me it looks sloppy and
unprofessional <personnal opinion, which nobody except me cares about
<g>)

In a recurring situation, where in DOS I would have done a restructure, I
now either have an empty table which I use as a template for the table
structure I want, or do a create.
