REGENERATE MISSING TABLE 


 

REGENERATE MISSING TABLE ( tableName ) 
Parameter Type   Description
tableName  Text in Name of missing table to be regenerated

The REGENERATE MISSING TABLE command rebuilds the missing table whose name is passed in the tableName parameter. When a missing table is rebuilt, it becomes visible in the Structure editor and its data can once again be accessed.

Missing tables are tables whose data are present in the data file but that do not exist at the structure level. You can identify any missing tables that may be present in the application by using the GET MISSING TABLE NAMES command.

If the table designated by the tableName parameter is not a missing table of the database, the command does nothing.

Example  

This method regenerates all the missing tables that may be present in the database:

 ARRAY TEXT($arrMissingTables;0)
 GET MISSING TABLE NAMES($arrMissingTables)
 $SizeArray:=Size of array($arrMissingTables)
 If($SizeArray#0)
  // Fills the array with the names of all the tables in the database
    ARRAY TEXT(arrTables;Get last table number)
    If(Get last table number>0) //If there are actually tables
       For($vlTables;Size of array(arrTables);1;-1)
          If(Is table number valid($vlTables))
             arrTables{$vlTables}:=Table name($vlTables)
          Else
             DELETE FROM ARRAY(arrTables;$vlTables)
          End if
       End for
    End if
    For($i;1;$SizeArray)
       If(Find in array(arrTables;$arrMissingTables{$i})=-1)
          CONFIRM("Regenerate the table"+$arrMissingTables{$i}+"?")
          If(OK=1)
             REGENERATE MISSING TABLE($arrMissingTables{$i})
          End if
       Else
          ALERT("Impossible to regenerate table "+$arrMissingTables{$i}+" because there is already a table with this name in the database.")
       End if
    End for
 Else
    ALERT("No tables to regenerate.")
 End if
