# 4017 CreateSQL Columns in System Information Tables Truncated at Last Two Characters

Use of reverse engineer / "create table SQL by dragging" feature of EDBMgr results in flawed SQL.

Open EDbMgr.
Open a DB. Drag any table icon into a new SQL Statement/Script
When requested say "yes"

Resulting SQL looks like the following.

PROBLEMS:

Parentheses not added at end of UID() function call.
Value 0 for default not added.
Default boolean shown as "fal" not "false"

CREATE TABLE "Forecasts"
(
"ID" INTEGER DEFAULT UID NOT NULL,
"LinkTable" VARCHAR(40) COLLATE "ANSI",
"Name" VARCHAR(100) COLLATE "ANSI",
"PeriodTypeID" INTEGER,
"DateTarget" DATE,
"ValueTarget" FLOAT DEFAULT  NOT NULL,
"AcceptableVariance" FLOAT DEFAULT  NOT NULL,
"AuthorID" INTEGER,
"DateCreated" TIMESTAMP DEFAULT Current_Timesta,
"Complete" BOOLEAN DEFAULT fal,
CONSTRAINT "PK_Forecasts" PRIMARY KEY ("ID"),
CONSTRAINT "PeriodTypeID" FOREIGN KEY ("PeriodTypeID") REFERENCES "Types" ("ID")
   ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
)


when it should look like this:

CREATE TABLE "Forecasts"
(
"ID" INTEGER DEFAULT UID() NOT NULL,
"LinkTable" VARCHAR(40) COLLATE "ANSI",
"Name" VARCHAR(100) COLLATE "ANSI",
"PeriodTypeID" INTEGER,
"DateTarget" DATE,
"ValueTarget" FLOAT DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
"AcceptableVariance" FLOAT DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
"AuthorID" INTEGER,
"DateCreated" TIMESTAMP DEFAULT Current_Timestamp,
"Complete" BOOLEAN DEFAULT false,
CONSTRAINT "PK_Forecasts" PRIMARY KEY ("ID"),
CONSTRAINT "PeriodTypeID" FOREIGN KEY ("PeriodTypeID") REFERENCES "Types" ("ID")
   ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
)
