Table Validations

bks

Hi All..

If we set ValidateTableRelations to "No", Do we have to set TestTableRelations as "No"???

bbrown

They are two different things. The ValidateTableRelations determines where user input is validated. The TestTableRelations determines whether the relation is tested when running "Table Relations Test"

but does it mean that if we have set ValidateTableRelations as No, it is not even necessary to test it during table relations test?

If the above it not true, can you give me an example where ValidateTableRelation is set to No and TestTableRelation is set to Yes??

bbrown

An example of ValidateTableRelations = NO is where you may want to give the user a list of choices (TableRelation), but also allow them to enter values that are not in the list.

You might then have code to insert their new value in the lookup table. The TestTableRelations could be set to YES to test whether this was working and not missing any records.

They are two different things. It's like when you feel like coffee, you go to Barristas, and when you feel like listening to music you turn on your iPod.

ValidateTableRelations makes the system validate the table relationship.

TestTableRelation makes the system test the table relationship during a database test.

You can choose to turn both of them on, and you can choose to one of them on, and you can choose to turn both of them off. It depends on what is needed of the field what you should do.
