SYMPTOMS
If you clear the Add Timestamp check box in step 8 of the Upsizing Wizard, the timestamp field may still be created in the upsized table if the upsized table contains at least one numeric field.
RESOLUTION
Save the generated SQL table creation scripts, modify the scripts to remove the timestamp column, and use SQL pass-through with the generated scripts to create the tables on the server. Afterwards, you can create remote views and append the local data to the tables on the server.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- On the Tools menu, click Wizard, and then click Upsizing.
- Select a local database to upsize in Step 1 of the Wizard.
- Select a previously created Microsoft SQL-Server 6.0 ODBC data source or connection in Step 2 of the Wizard.
- Select an existing database on the server.
- Select a table that has at least one numeric field to upsize in Step 6 of the Wizard.
- In Step 8 of the Wizard, clear the Add timestamp check box, and then click Finish.
- After the table is created in the database on the server, create a remote view to that table, and notice that the timestamp field was created anyway.
