Ability to call ALTER only mentioning "DESCRIPTION" |
Wed, Sep 27 2017 11:56 AM | Permanent Link |
Adam Brett Orixa Systems | In my systems I use the Column, Table, Function and Procedure DESCRIPTION Configuration meta-data. I store IniFile-Like data in it.
It would be really useful for me if I could call: ALTER PROCEDURE <SomeProcedureName> DESCRIPTION '[Properties] LinkTable= Type=System Title=Backup Database CheckBefore=false UserMessage=Backup database. NOTES: "Include Published Updates" will add replication data to the backup file, this is not normally needed. "Backup System DB" will create a separate backup file for the SystemDB, this is not normally needed.' VERSION 2.00! This call would make no change to the Procedure (or Function, Table, or Column) definition, but would just overwrite the DESCRIPTION |

<< This call would make no change to the Procedure (or Function, Table, or Column) definition, but would just overwrite the DESCRIPTION >> Improvements like this to the ALTER operations are definitely on the short list. I think I tried to squeeze them in earlier this year and ran out of time. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Adam Brett Orixa Systems | Tim, Sorry, I should obviously have added that as well as being able to alter DESCRIPTION without calling the rest of the ALTER statement, it would also be great to be able to alter ATTRIBUTES ...
ALTER Table <Some Table Name> ATTRIBUTES ''! |

The general idea is to allow for all keywords to be optional, and for EDB to handle it properly when they're missing. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
