How to change the name of a PDBASE object in Roundtable
When loading a database into Roundtable, it is important to remember
that the name you give the PDBASE object is used by Roundtable as the
LOGICAL database name. Unfortunately, it is not possible to quickly
change the name of an object in Roundtable once it has been
registered and checked-in.
To change the name of a PDBASE object you can do the following:
1. Make sure the PDBASE object and all the PFILE and PFIELD objects
are complete and checked in.
2. Create a new Task.
3. Delete the PDBASE object from the workspace.
(You will have to disconnect the database manually from the UIB
"Database Connections" menu or something similar - this is a
known bug that will be fixed in a later release of Roundtable)
4. Create a new PDBASE object with the correct name.
5. Give the PDBASE object the physical name and connection
parameters needed to connect to the original database.
6. ASSIGN all the tables that were associated with the deleted
PDBASE object to the new PDBASE object.
7. Run the Schema Update utility: Build List, SKIP all the tables
that come up, Perform the 'Schema Update' - this will not
physically change the application database.
8. You now have a new PDBASE object with the correct name and the
same database structure as the "wrong" database.
