Problems with Views in Joins

rbuser

I am using Firebird 1.6 RC6 and IBO 4.2.Hf. I have created a view and it
shows up in the tables list of the Data Dictionary. The view will not show
up in the Join tables list though. Any idea how to fix this?

Delphi 6 Pro. RB 7.03 Pro.

Thanks.

The DataDictionary has three tables: Tables, Fields, Joins. You should be
able to use the DataDictionary Builder to populate the tables or you can
populate them by writing your own code to generate the entries. Use of the
Join table is optional - this is controlled by the DataDictionary.AutoJoin
boolean property.

If there is an issue with the DataDictionary Builder, first place to look
would be the DADE plug-in code for IBO, daIBO.pas. Check out the
TdaIBSession.GetTableNames method.

You can also try tracing the DataDictionary Builder by creating a project
that launches it at runtime (see download link below). Modify your Delphi
library path from RBuilder\Lib to RBuilder\Source.
