OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Delta df to MS SQL Server Incremental Schema Migration utility
Table 7–8: MS SQL Server equivalents of OpenEdge objects
OpenEdge object MS SQL Server equivalents
Array One column for each extent of the OpenEdge
array.
Table For new tables, if the Create RECID Field
option was checked, a PROGRESS_RECID
column and associated triggers are created.
This indexed column provides a unique key
on the MS SQL Server table.
The utility ensures that the migrated objects have names that are unique to the MS SQL Server
database. If you have given the object a name that is not unique, it drops characters from the end
of the name and appends numbers until it creates a unique name.
Since MS SQL Server requires that index names be unique to the database, the utility appends
the table name to the indexed column name to create a unique name.
Updating the MS SQL Server database
You should review, and modify if necessary, the delta.sql file that the utility generates before
applying it. You can apply the delta.sql file to the MS SQL Server database through
SQL-based tools.
After applying the delta.sql file to the MS SQL Server database, you must update the original
schema holder by loading the new delta.df file into the original schema holder so that the
original schema holder reflects the modifications you made to the MS SQL Server database.
