Parameters:

hbuf - A handle to a buffer or table from which to copy the definitions.

Returns:

true on success.

createLike

logical createLike(java.lang.String tableName)

Duplicates the structure of an existing table, copying the field definitions, and optionally, the indexes. This method is the P2J equivalent of CREATE-LIKE method of Progress 4GL.

Parameters:

tableName - The name of a table to create the copy of.

Returns:

true on success.

createLike

logical createLike(character tableName)

Parameters:

tableName - The name of a table to create the copy of.

Returns:

true on success.

createLike

logical createLike(handle hbuf,
                   java.lang.String indexName)

Duplicates the structure of an existing table, copying the field definitions, and optionally, the indexes. This method is the P2J equivalent of CREATE-LIKE method of Progress 4GL.

Parameters:

hbuf - A handle to a buffer or table from which to copy the definitions.

indexName - The name of a single index which is copied from the source table.

Returns:

true on success.

Parameters:

hbuf - A handle to a buffer or table from which to copy the definitions.

indexName - The name of a single index which is copied from the source table.

Returns:

true on success.
