Field_Name

The name of the column.

Supported By

SQL Drivers (SQL Server, DB2 and ODBC)

Value

The name of the column as reported by DataFlex

Associated Attribute

DF_FIELD_NAME (String)

Remarks

This keyword is generally used to setup overlap* column names. It can also be used to setup a different name for the DataFlex environment from the name at the server.

There are column names that are legal at the SQL data source but not in DataFlex. If you want to access a table with such a column, use the Field_Name keyword to set it to a legal DataFlex name. An example of this type of name would be File_Number, which is a legal name in most SQL environments, but is not legal in DataFlex.

 

Note

Overlap columns were replaced by multi-segment relationships in DataFlex 11.0 and are obsolete.
