Changes to fgldbsch
Starting with version 5.01.00, the fgldbsch tool will by default deny SQL table or column names that are not
valid identifiers (like "Customer Name"), or when a table/column name is a
case-insensitive duplicate of other table/column names (like "Stock" vs
"STOCK").
To bypass this control and allow invalid table or column names in the .sch
file, use the -sl (sloppy) option. This option has been implemented in case if an
SQL table mixes valid and invalid column names, and DEFINE varname LIKE
tabname.colname instructions are used with the
columns using regular identifier names.
To skip problematic tables and extract valid table defintions, use the already-existing
-ie (ignore errors) option.
Use the -v verbose option to get details of the database schema extraction
process.
