Hi Erik,

I created the script this morning on sql server 2008. I then cut the
code out of the sql server 2008 script and added it to my VO app as
per the original example shown. As long as I exclude all of the
CONSTRAINT instructions all of the tables (53 in total) are created
without error. As soon as I add in the CONSTRAINT instructions I get
errors.

I need to add the CONSTRAINT instructions back in as they are part of
the Primary Key and Foreign Key settings.

I have taken out the SET instructions as suggested by Ginny but this
did not clear the errors.

Hope someone can help.

Ian,

Does it run with just the primary key constraint? If so you can add the
others in separate alter table statements:

alter table Foo add constraint foo_bah foreign key (otherTable) references
otherTable (columnName)

You could also try posting on a SQL Server newsgroup. This is not really a
VO issue.

Hi Erik,

I created the script this morning on sql server 2008. I then cut the
code out of the sql server 2008 script and added it to my VO app as
per the original example shown. As long as I exclude all of the
CONSTRAINT instructions all of the tables (53 in total) are created
without error. As soon as I add in the CONSTRAINT instructions I get
errors.

I need to add the CONSTRAINT instructions back in as they are part of
the Primary Key and Foreign Key settings.

I have taken out the SET instructions as suggested by Ginny but this
did not clear the errors.

Hope someone can help.

Just tried, the query below can be executed without errors from within a
VO-Vo2ADO application:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CLNTVIEWHEADER](
[RECID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT null,
[TRANSNUM] [char](9) null,
[LASTSAVE] [char](16) null,
[VIEWNAME] [char](50) NOT null,
[INUSEBY] [char](6) null,
CONSTRAINT [PK_CLNTVIEWHEADER] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [VIEWNAME]
ASC)with (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF,
IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON)
ON [PRIMARY] )

Hi Erik

I have just tried to run the following from within my VO app using
VO2ADO

cNewsql :={}
cNewSql := " IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id
= OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[CLNTVIEWHEADER]') AND type in (N'U'))"
cNewSql += " BEGIN"
cNewSql += " CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CLNTVIEWHEADER]("
cNewSql += " [RECID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT null,"
cNewSql += " [TRANSNUM] [char](9) null,"
cNewSql += " [LASTSAVE] [char](16) null,"
cNewSql += " [VIEWNAME] [char](50) NOT null,"
cNewSql += " [INUSEBY] [char](6) null,"
cNewSql += " CONSTRAINT [PK_CLNTVIEWHEADER] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
( [VIEWNAME] ASC )with PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE =
OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS =
ON"
cNewSql += " ) ON [PRIMARY]"
cNewSql += " end"
AAdd(aSqlArray,cNewSql)
CreateSqlTables(aSqlArray,"",oDataConn)

This gets an error coming back saying [Incorrect Syntax Near The
Keyword 'End']. Is it because I am using IF NOT EXISTS then putting
the instructions inside a begin/end loop.

Hi Erik,

I have now found out something that may be a possible cause of the
problem. If I put the constraint instruction inside the
IF NOT EXISTS etc etc
begin
instructions
end,
I get the error [Incorrect Syntax Near The Keyword 'End'].

If I put the CONSTRAINT instruction outside of the
IF NOT EXIST
begin
instructions
end
and then change the CONSTRAINT instruction by adding this to the start
of it ALTER TABLE [dbo].[CLNTVIEWHEADER] with NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT
ETC ETC ETC. Then the table gets created and the CONSTRAINT
instruction is actioned. However, next time I run the app I get a new
error saying that the 'primary key is already defined'. This is
because I have put it outside of the IF NOT EXISTS- BEGIN-END. So
although not solved does this give you any clues as to a solution.

Ian
