Yes, our guys do the same in Vstudio plugin. Target is that user can do ANY changes in Table: add/drop fields change field types set on of indexes add/drop/change triggers add drop constraints as FKs And for user this should looks as easy as single operation, In background Valentina Studio do this copies of records (if they exists) into second table.. Peter, can you take a look on Vstudio? And may be give us comparision to Firefox? FYI: in the nearest days we will add support of Valentina Link idea in regard to FKs for Lite ... Then this also will be added to diagrams for Lite, like Access do > The CREATE syntax in th mastr > table is recreated automatically since the table is re-created. > > Pete Haworth > > On Jan 6, 2011, at 11:29 AM, Ruslan Zasukhin wrote: > >> On 1/6/11 9:22 PM, "Bob Sneidar" <b...@twft.com> wrote: >> >>> Are you saying that an Alter Table command will create a second record with >>> the alter table syntax in it?
