Oliver Bock | Using DBISAM v4.23b2, I can create a column called "RecordID".
Unfortunately I cannot get at the data in this column because DBISAM supplies its own internal record ID. I don't have a problem with that, but perhaps DBISAM should not allow columns called "RecordID" to be created by the user. "RecordID" is not such an unlikely column name for someone to choose, and this measure would save such twits as me a bit of time. Oliver |

INTO trick ![]() Now that I try it in DBSYS I can see that it is automatically renamed to RecordID_1. I suppose this is similar to writing select ID, ID into T2 from T1 in which case I guess the SQL standard mandates an automatic column rename rather than an error. So, I suppose DBISAM is not being unreasonable. Oliver |
