Question Regarding Data Dictionary.

rbuser

Hi all,
In my application, there are some tables created in the database at runtime.
For end user reporting i am using a data dictionary, and everytime a new
table is created in the database, i want this new table and its fields added
to the data dictionary. How can this be accomplised ?
should i be using AppendFieldRecord and AppendTableRecord ???
Thank you for helping

To optimize speed, ReportBuilder caches information about the database
tables and fields, etc.

If you update the tables in the database, then you need to close rbTable,
rbField, rbJoin datapipelines. And you need to clear the meta data cache.

----------------------------------------
Tech Tip: Clearing the Meta Data Cache
----------------------------------------

There is a global meta data cache that the ReportBuilder uses to cache
information about the available database tables and fields. You can clear
the meta data cache using the following code.

uses
daMetaDataManager;

begin
gMetaDataManager.Clear;

end;
