Creating a Custom Data Table
6-2
To define custom data tables, use the steps described in the following pages.
Caution
If you back up data using the Maintenance — Backup Data window,
the data stored in custom
INFORMIX tables will be saved, but the
custom table definitions (table names, column names, data
types, and so on) will not be saved. As a result, if you lose the
custom table definitions because of a disk crash, power hit, or
some other reason, you cannot restore these table definitions using
the Backup Data window. Because the custom table definitions will
be lost, you will not be able to restore the custom data that was
saved using the Backup Data window.
For this reason, it is recommended that you make your own
backups of the custom table definitions using the
UNIX
a
system/
Solaris
b
system. If you lose
INFORMIX table definitions
and/or custom data, you can restore the table definitions using
UNIX and then restore the custom data. See the “UNIX
System/
Solaris System” chapter in the CentreVu
CMS
Administration (585-215-820) document for procedures on backing
up data via the
UNIX system.
