Thread: DBMigration-Wizard & Access 2002

Hello,

We found a problem with the Database Migration wizard and Access 2002:

If we have a sequence in a table in Access 2002 and use the Migration
Wizard to put the table into Postgres, the SQL-Statement for inserting
the next value in the table is wrong. For example:
Migration Wizard produces: 
mycolumn int4 DEFAULT nextval("'mycolumn_seq'"::text) NOT NULL
                             ^^            ^^                               this is the error -> ' "
and correct it should be:
mycolumn int4 DEFAULT nextval('myschema.mycolumn_seq'::text) NOT NULL
                             ^^                   ^^                              The difference -> only '

and: the schemaname is not inserted, too.


But: The Migration wizard is *the* "Killer App" for our work ;-)

:-)

With Sequences created in Access 97, there is no problem!

Greetings,

Albin

No, the correct format is this:

mycolumn int4 DEFAULT nextval('"myschema"."mycolumn_seq"'::text) NOT NULL
