Hi all, We have an ERP running on Progress 10.2B. We are receiving some width errors when querying the DB via ODBC, so our ERP provider has suggested running DBTool to "fix" the widths of the fields. I have looked at the Progress KB articles but it's not clear to me what exactly this does. Is it changing the schema of the Progress DB itself, or some SQL-schema overlay? I have asked our provider if "fixing" the DB using DBTool will have any adverse affect on our ERP data integrity etc, but they are being evasive in giving me a straight response. I would like to know if any one in the community could advise on the likelihood (I'm not going to hold anyone here accountable!) on data issues should I run this tool? Also, we have OpenEdge Replication type 3 running on the Live DB. Does anyone know if I run DBTool on our Live DB, will these changes get replicated? I assume, if the changes are just to a separate SQL layer, then they won't, but I am really flying blind here. Thank you very much. Best Regards, Elliot
