When creating the new Data Deployment Package I ran into the limitation that the select for the data only works on a table with exactly the same schema. I only tried to fill one table with initial data. Would'nt it be nice to be able to select data from a whole different source all together and use this as initial data to package. I can imagine a big relations database while my new app uses only a subset as customers. So the initial data should come from some kind of (SQL or MDB)-CRM and be inserted in my new Customer-table.</P><P>Just an idea.</P><P>Greetings,&nbsp; JohanThu, 31 Aug 2006 10:04:52 GMTJ. Storteboomhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost2586.aspxThe reason this limitation exists is because the data that is retrieved is automatically dumped into a table within the profile.&nbsp; If those expected fields do not exist an error will occur.&nbsp; Jsut FYI, you can pull the data from a different server and database, but the table and field definitions have to be the same...at least for now :)&nbsp; Thanks for the good ideas.&nbsp;Thu, 31 Aug 2006 10:04:52 GMTTrent L.
