Subject Isql and add scripts...
Author Bertram Grillitsch
Hi,
I'm getting some strange errors while using isql for initial db-setup.
Here is what I do:

isql.exe C:\hberp.fdb -i C:\create_db.sql -u SYSDBA -p masterkey

The create_db.sql looks like this:
----
CREATE DATABASE 'C:\hberp.fdb' page_size 8192 user 'SYSDBA' password
'masterkey';
---
Strange thing here, the database was created correctly, and I get this
messages:

----------
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902

I/O error for file "C:\HBERP.FDB"
-Error while trying to open file
-The system cannot find the file specified.

Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
----------

But if the command is done in the isql shell, no error messages.


Same thing if I do the initial DDL's,
but here some statements do not work at all via the commandline + script
approach. Like this:

Again, the lines below are in an external file and I call isql with the
"-i" option.
---------------------
Create Table "COUNTRY" (
"COUNTRY_ID" Varchar(5) NOT NULL,
"SORTSEQUENCE" Bigint,
"NAME" Varchar(60),
"ISECCOUNTRY" Char(1) NOT NULL,
Constraint "pk_COUNTRY" Primary Key ("COUNTRY_ID")
);

Create Table "ADDRESS" (
"ADDRESS_ID" Bigint NOT NULL,
"STREET1" Varchar(120),
"STREET2" Varchar(120),
"CITY" Varchar(80),
"PLZ" Varchar(8),
"COUNTRY_ID" Varchar(5) NOT NULL,
Constraint "pk_ADDRESS" Primary Key ("ADDRESS_ID")
);

Alter Table "ADDRESS" add Constraint "Relationship16" Foreign Key
("COUNTRY_ID") references "COUNTRY" ("COUNTRY_ID") on update no action
on delete no action ;
--------------

I get this message:
------
unsuccessful metadata update
-Table column not found
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -607
------

But sending this commands within the isql shell it works.

Any ideas ?
What Im basically trying to do, is to have one batch which does the
whole basic setup. Any other way to do this.

Thanx for any help.
