Michael Fullerton | I am seeing a major problem related to CLOBs as I move from EDB 1 to
EDB2. I often change tables in code. In this case I want to change a varchar field to CLOB. This works fine if the table is changed in EDB1. In EDB2 I get a 600 cannot rename file error for the .EDBBlb file "Cannot create a file when that file already exists". |

Also, just to confirm - you alter a table, and then change the VARCHAR column to a CLOB data type, and then the error occurs, correct ? -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Yes on attempting to change VARCHAR to CLOB the error occurs only in EDB 2. |

<< Build 15. Yes on attempting to change VARCHAR to CLOB the error occurs only in EDB 2. >> I can't reproduce this here. Here's what I'm using: ALTER TABLE "customer2" ALTER COLUMN "Company" AS CLOB COLLATE "ANSI" When customer2 looks like this to start with: CREATE TABLE "customer2" ( "CustNo" FLOAT, "Company" VARCHAR(30) COLLATE "ANSI", "Addr1" VARCHAR(30) COLLATE "ANSI", "Addr2" VARCHAR(30) COLLATE "ANSI", "City" VARCHAR(15) COLLATE "ANSI", "State" VARCHAR(30) COLLATE "ANSI", "Zip" VARCHAR(10) COLLATE "ANSI", "Country" VARCHAR(20) COLLATE "ANSI", "Phone" VARCHAR(15) COLLATE "ANSI", "FAX" VARCHAR(15) COLLATE "ANSI", "TaxRate" FLOAT, "Contact" VARCHAR(20) COLLATE "ANSI", "LastInvoiceDate" TIMESTAMP, CONSTRAINT "PrimaryKey" PRIMARY KEY ("CustNo") ) -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

The field I am changing is 250 characters. That seems to be the only other difference. |
