Subject Re: Overflow during backup. Apparent date problem.
Author homerjones1941
I ran verbose and found the table. But, being a novice, I did alter the data type. It had been a date field, and I changed it to a Time field. I thought changing the domain was all I needed to do. I was wrong. What is the best way to fix my error?

BTW, this was done via a Delphi app, that has been distributed to about a dozen beta testers.


Here's how I made the change. Any suggestions about how to do something like this in the future without getting myself into trouble?

update RDB$RELATION_FIELDS
set RDB$FIELD_SOURCE = 'D_TIME'
where (RDB$FIELD_NAME = 'EFFECTIVETIME')
and (RDB$RELATION_NAME = 'DETF')
