GOAL:
How to allow use of GENERATE-UUID in the Initial Value fill-in of a Database Field
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.1x
All Supported Operating Systems
CAUSE:
Enhancement Request# 0000003754
FIX:
This Enhancement has not been implemented in the product.
This functionality would allow customers to generate unique IDs for each record automatically.
For example, if the customer wants to add a new unique identifier field to an existing table, then they can create a delta.df that adds the new field that uses GENERATE-UUID as an Initial Value. When the delta.df is loaded, GENERATE-UUID would automatically populate this field for existing records as well as new records.
