I've installed Frontbase on a remote windows machine (at amazon using
AWS) and can control it via Frontbase manager (i.e. connect to
machine, create databases, start and stop them, create tables, and add
data all via FBManager).
However, when I try to us WOLips EOModel SQL generation, I get this
message:
"Failed to generate SQL. Unable to find type information for external
type 'varchar' in attribute 'externalName' of entity 'Customer'. Check
spelling and capitalization."
Well the spelling of varchar seems to be correct and looking in FB it
lists the type as all lowercase. It seems that EOMdel SQL generator is
asking FB what types it supports and does not find a match to varchar
and won't create the SQL.
This same process works fine on a local FB installation on a MacBook
Pro.
*** UPDATE ***
Just figured it out but thought I'd post anyway in case this is a bug
or it can help someone else.
It turns out, strangely, that the Windows version uses uppercase and
is apparently case sensitive, while the Mac connection seems not to
care.
Best,
Drew
