------- Additional comments from mhath...@openoffice.org Thu Jan 20 20:36:56 +0000 2011 ------- Although this had been promised for the 3.3.-Version to work, it does not function. The feature to reuse a field as primary key is not functioning (start on import with NO prim.Key and afterwards set the index), and the "tricky" method that OOO use by copying content to a new field actually does not work either. Practically: supposed you have a INT-field as a counter (f.ex. from DBF-import), there is no chance to reuse that content as a counter again (meaning: index/queries are broken) Strange stuff: setting a field to autoincrement makes it always to a primary key (why? ever thought about selfexplanatory keys?) Strange stuff II: the attempt to make the imported counter-field to AUTOINCR resulted in Dataloss: that field is deleted while the copy-process, but even when the failed buildprocess is canceled, the original field is already deleted!
