upgrade an existing SQL table using Dexterity

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

 

I have created a small add-in for GP using dex with a few tables.  Recently, I made some changes to this add-in, as well as added a new column to one of the table definitions. 

When i install the new .cnk file i get a sql error stating that the table definition doesn't match. I know why I am getting this error (the new column) but i don't know  how do I upgrade the table definition via code rather than drop and recreate the table.  I looked at an example of a table conversion on Customer Source but that seems really extensive for just adding a column to a table.  Can anyone point me in the right direction here to a blog post or other form of example?

Thanks,

Aaron

    Hi Aaron,

    This post is very old, but for the sake of answering it I have run SQL Maintenance from GP 10.0 and select my product from the drop down. Search for my custom table and select options Drop Table, Create Table, Drop Auto Procedure and Create Auto Procedure. After selecting click Process button and it will resolve your issue.

    If you added any addition column to existing tables, you can't upgrade the table without drop and recreate.

    To recreate table manually follow Waliullah suggestion.

    If you want to drop and recreate the table from code, call the get table table_name code in Startup script from Dexterity. While login into GP, it code will recreate you table automatically or write a SQL statement code via dexterity to drop and recreate tables.

    Hope this helps!!!
