After deleting a table in Baan (5). the table is still present on oracle. In Baan itself table and deinition are no more present.

Is this a knowen bug, or a feature?

I do believe that this is a feature. If you look in your dict/<Pack_comb> directory and look for the table definition you will find the definition but with the ending .expi for expired. this explains why you cannot create a new table with the same name after deleting an old one. I can only assume that this is done to allow Baan support to resurrect an accidentally deleted table. This can also be the reason why the table is not removed from the database.

May the force be with you!

Hi Toni,

you right, there is a expi-file present. But regardless to that is seems possible to create a new table with the same name, at least we did that right now. I think that is possible, after you deleted the table in oracle.

Yes, you can create a new table only if you've physically deleted the expi file and the table in the database as you did.
