The Oracle database resides on a Windows 2000 server and PowerHouse is running on OpenVMS 7.2-1. When I developed the program to update the Oracle test database, everything worked fine. Then, when I tried to place the PowerHouse program (QTP) into production, I encountered constraint errors. I checked the table description with Qhsow and found a difference - see "Null Values Allowed" in table header below: 2002/08/29 TEST_MAXIMO Page 1 R E C O R D R E P O R T For DICTIONARY: PROD_USER_C:[GBN]TEST_MAXIMO.PDC Record: MAXIMO.CHARTOFACCOUNTS of Database: TMAX Organization: RELATIONAL Null Values Allowed:Yes Type: ORACLE Hold Cursor: Unspecified Open: ORACLE@MAXIMO@TESTMAX/xxxxxxx Record Size: 913 Bytes 2002/08/29 PROD_MAXIMO Page 1 R E C O R D R E P O R T For DICTIONARY: PROD_USER_C:[GBN]PROD_MAXIMO.PDC Record: MAXIMO.CHARTOFACCOUNTS of Database: AMAX Organization: RELATIONAL Null Values Allowed:No Type: ORACLE Hold Cursor: Unspecified Open: ORACLE@MAXIMO@ADMINMAX/xxxxxxx Record Size: 913 Bytes The test database and the production database are on two servers, but both are running are running Windows 2000 v 5.0.2195 SP 2. The Oracle DBA showed me that both databases are identical in their description. He added that Oracle has no concept of placing a "Not Null" constraint on an entire table. Some subtle difference must exist somewhere that makes PowerHouse think the entire table has a not null constraint on it. Does anyone have an answer. George B. Nekolny Denver Water Dept.
