Gidday,
I'm not sure if this is a problem/ something that is not yet
implimented or something that was never imagined.
I have a customer who is using DBI GW for RMS (V3.0D) and DBI GW (V3.1)
and are not using the CDD, they have their own METADATA file.
They couldn't determine why they were getting duplicate columns in
their reports, and they eventually determined that it was caused by
duplicate entries in their METADATA file (that they manually
generated).
The customer does accept that it is their responsibility to make
sure that the manually generated metadata file is correct.
However the customer would like to know if there are any plans for
DBI to do somekind of integrity check on the METADATA file, or if it
already does? Or why it doesn't duplicate entries as a problem?
Any comment/suggestion/recomendations greatly apreciated.

| 1049.1 | Could we get a copy of the CDO file? | BROKE::WRIGHT | NYO&W-Trains Spoken Here-SUSIEQ | Mon Apr 22 1996 11:06 | 14 |
Hi, There actually is quite a bit of integrity checking in the CDO Reader metadata driver. The "C2" debug flag is principally to flush out any problems with the CDO file. I don't believe that columns with the same name in the same table (relation/file) are legitimate. Is this what they mean by duplicate columns? I would be very interested in getting a copy of their CDO file to see what is going on. You could mail me a copy at "[email protected]". If they don't want to release a copy of the original perhaps you could get them to give us a small sample file that replicates the problem. Tom | |||||

Thanks,
The customer is not sure if he has kept a copy of the
METADATA file, though if he does, he'll send it to me so that I
can forward it to you.
Dave
