Is it possible to update the Database Name of an existing External Table without having to remove them from templates first?

asked on May 9, 2019 Show version history

The situation is that an organization has moved their SQL server and would like to update existing External Tables in LF by typing in the new database name. The name of the table itself should stay the same. Is it possible to make that update without having to remove the external table from the templates that are using it first? Right now, the method is to create a new external table with the new database name and then go into the templates and replace the old data table with the new one. Some customers want to keep the table name the same for consistency purposes.

 

Any insight on this would be helpful!

Did you move the SQL database hosting the Laserfiche repository to the new SQL server too?

Hi Miruna,

 

Yes, both databases were moved. The name of the database holding the tables used for the Dynamic Fields was renamed.
