Hi to all,
I am new to progress and I have some questions to which I dind't find the answer yet:
1. How can I assign a sequence to a table field automatically?
Like an autoincrement or serial or sequence(that's how they are called in other DB's).
2. How do I make a foreign key?(or a reference to another table) and how are the rules created? On update/on delete/ on insert etc.
What other practices are working in progress to make data in database consistent!? ... I mean if a key i referenced in another table, that I constraint that that key cannot be deleted/updated. We have some data inconstencies and I would like to solve them.
I faced a lot of memory limitations, like you cannot create a very large array, in v9 the strings are limited to 32kb, from what I read in 10 there is the LongString that does not have this limitation... will these be removed in future? (...we live in 2008)
Regards,
Andy.
