Is there a way of grouping tables within a db without changing their names? I got 20 new tables that I need to add into an exsisting db, and would like to i.e dump them or find them easy within dbdict tool....
Or you could use _file._category - see community.progress.com/.../9158 for Gus' blessing.
Sorry, I ment I would like to find them easy when i.e I need to dump them or find them between all the other tables.
Check this KB out:
Normally I would add a prefix on the tables that I would Group, but this time I am not able to do that. I was thinking of adding a number that was higher then the last table that allready is in the db. Since I need to use the code that is built for the tables, I am not able to add the prefix. I was hoping there was other ways....
You could put something in the table description field and select on that. I doubt there will be an index on it, but the number of tables should be limited anyway. At least it wouldn't disrupt any code.
Thanx, I can live with that :-)

I'd put all these tables in "baby area" while they're growing up - just to collect the reliable statistics abaout their characters (the mean rec sizes etc). Then I'd move them to the areas with the suitable RPB/BPC.
You can use _File._Last-modified field to find the recently created/modified tables.
Thanks Stefan and George :-)
I really liked the _category ... that was what I hoped for !!
