Subject Error messages - an area subject to improvement?
Author Svein Erling Tysvær
Yesterday I tried to create a table with 150+ fields. It prepared OK, but
when executing I got
"ISC ERROR CODE:335544351

ISC ERROR MESSAGE:
unsuccessful metadata update
STORE RDB$RELATION_FIELDS failed
attempt to store duplicate value (visible to active transactions) in unique
index "RDB$INDEX_15"

STATEMENT:
TIB_DSQL: "frmWISQL.dsqlEdit""

In the end I found that I had two fields named the same and eventually even
which two fields. Of course, I never ought to have named two fields the
same, but I still think an error message like "duplicate field name:
<fieldname>" would have been preferable. Is there any plans to brush up the
error messages?
