My personal experience: Never do that. Reasons:
1) while you copy the table, it can be updated meanwhile, so there is a chance of corruption on destiny 2) if the table have a memo (fpt) associated, the there is a big chance to corrupt the fpt (we have got many problems on production with tables grater than 600 MB size) 3) in the case you where lucky and didn't have obvious errors, you have a big chance that the dbf/fpt/cdx are out of sync in the best case, and corrupted data in worst case Best regards. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cagq_jumru46vun2+zcjpgoefbaysapqyjdvsoagag_aih3j...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
