Hi All

During the development phase, many tasks are made on the Data Dictionary.

Create tables and fields, rename or delete them.

So, often the Synchronization process failed.

To avoid this issue, you can create a process that fix the SqlDictionary Table.

During the time, I created many Jobs.

The main started from the Martin post with the following changes :

1. To avoid the duplicate key, I read the fields starting from the last one.

2. For each table, I delete first the fields from the SqlDictionary that no more exist on AOT

If you use the TFS Build, before the Synchronization you can run the above job.

The same during the Modelstore transportation scripts.

Here the code :

    Dictionary dictionary = new Dictionary();
    SysDictTable dictTable;
    DictField dictField;
    TableId tableId;
    FieldId fieldId;
    Counter fieldCnt;
    SqlDictionary sqlDictionaryTable;
    SqlDictionary sqlDictionaryField;

setPrefix("Update of data dictionary IDs");

tableId = dictionary.tableNext(0);

ttsbegin;

    while (tableId)
    {
        dictTable = new SysDictTable(tableId);
        setPrefix(dictTable.name());

        if ( dictTable.isSystemTable()
        ||   dictTable.isView()
        ||   dicttable.isTempDb()
        ||   dictTable.isTmp()
           )
        {
            tableId = dictionary.tableNext(tableId);
            continue;
        }

///////////

        //Finds table in SqlDictionary by name in AOT, if ID was changed.
        //Empty field ID represents a table.
        select sqlDictionaryTable
            where sqlDictionaryTable.name == dictTable.name()
            && sqlDictionaryTable.fieldId == 0
            && sqlDictionaryTable.tabId != dictTable.id();

        if (sqlDictionaryTable)
        {
            //Updates table ID in SqlDictionary
            if (ReleaseUpdateDB::changeTableId(
                sqlDictionaryTable.tabId,
                dictTable.id(),
                dictTable.name()))
            {
                info(strFmt("Table ID changed (%1 -> %2)", sqlDictionaryTable.tabId, dictTable.id()));
            }
        }

////////////

        // Delete Fields that no more exists in AOT
        while select forUpdate sqlDictionaryTable
            where sqlDictionaryTable.tabId == dictTable.id()
            &&    sqlDictionaryTable.fieldId
        {
            If ( ! dictTable.fieldName2Id( sqlDictionaryTable.name ) )
            {
                sqlDictionaryTable.delete();
            }
        }

////////////

        //fieldId = dictTable.fieldNext(0);
        fieldCnt = dictTable.fieldCnt();
        fieldId = dictTable.fieldCnt2Id(fieldCnt);

        //For all fields in table
        while (fieldCnt)
        {
            dictField = dictTable.fieldObject(fieldId);

            if (dictField.isSql() && !dictField.isSystem())
            {
                //Finds fields in SqlDictionary by name and compares IDs
                select sqlDictionaryField
                    where sqlDictionaryField.tabId == dictTable.id()
                    && sqlDictionaryField.name == dictField.name()
                    && sqlDictionaryField.fieldId != 0
                    && sqlDictionaryField.fieldId != dictField.id();

                if (sqlDictionaryField)
                {
                    //Updates field ID in SqlDictionary
                    if (ReleaseUpdateDB::changeFieldId(
                        dictTable.id(),
                        sqlDictionaryField.fieldId,
                        dictField.id(),
                        dictTable.name(),
                        dictField.name()))
                    {
                        info(strFmt("Field %1 - ID changed (%2 -> %3)",
                            dictField.name(),
                            sqlDictionaryField.fieldId,
                            dictField.id()));
                    }
                }
            }

//fieldId = dictTable.fieldNext(fieldId);
fieldCnt--;

fieldId = dictTable.fieldCnt2Id(fieldCnt);
}

tableId = dictionary.tableNext(tableId);

}
ttscommit;
