Author update set
Charlie Lutz

2005-11-17, 8:23 pm

I am trying to use the copy option of the update set class to make a copy of some tables (actually a subset of the tables). The copy is working fine, but it is not creating the index files. Is there any way to copy the index (mdx) as well?


Thanks,
Charlie

------
Use the tabledef class to get information about the indexes of the source
table. Then use this information to recreate the indexes in the destination
table.

Or... use the copytables() method of the database, zap the destination=20
table, and then start your update-set action.

-------
That's probably the easiest way, but copyTables() only works within the same
database.

------
Try updateSetEx.cc, which I posted in dbase.shared-code.

Why not just use COPY TABLE or database.copyTable()?

From what I understand Charlie does not want to copy complete tables.

Can I use that to ONLY copy part of the table? For example: copy table
for field 1 = true.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will dig into them.

No, sorry. I didn't see that you needed that capability.
