1. When you update an index, it is identified as unique if it was defined as unique in the data source or the schema
holder.
2. If the corresponding information in the data source is incompatible with the information in the schema holder, the
affected fields are not updated. For example, if the data source data type is decimal and the OpenEdge data type is
CHARACTER, the data type information is not updated.
To verify a table from the Data Administration tool:
1. Access the Data Administration, if you are not already there, and select DataServer→
MS SQL Server Utilities→ Verify Table Definition. The following dialog box appears:
2. Type preselection criteria values into the fields if desired. These values preselect the data
source objects that the utility uses to update the schema holder. By default, the wild card
symbol (*) appears; it specifies that the utility uses all of the objects in the data source.
3. By default, the utility verifies objects in the schema holder that match objects in the data
source. To check whether there are objects in the data source that are not represented in
the schema holder, deselect the check box Verify only objects that currently exist in the
schema holder.
