and data (could be improved with just two checkboxes, one forstructure
and one for data, but this is another subject). What I find confusing is that you are adding near these choices,another
choice which is (I think) a subset of the structure. I would classify a trigger as being part of the structure (it's more related to structure that to data, right?)Hi Marc,
Yes I agree to your point. In that case, the only problem we have is, there is no way to ignore table structure of the database, if we chose 'structure' or 'structure and data'. For that we should have an option like 'Ignore table structure' under 'Object creation options'. What do you think ?
I believe it would be clearer if we express every option in a positive way. So, a checkbox for all elements on which we can choose, the table structure being one of them. Plus a default value for all these checkboxes, based on the expected need of the majority of users.
Then shall we simply add 'Add CREATE TABLE statement' option to the Object creation options, which is checked by default ? I think this would be the simplest solution with our custom form.
Yes.
