You can open an SQL table without having an INT file by using the Open method. Although you don’t need the INT file, an FD file is still required to compile your DF/VDF application.
Open "<DriverName>:\<ServerName><DataBaseName>*<Owner>*<TableName>" as <TableName>
MySQLopen "MDSMYSQL:\localhostmertech*customer" as customer
MS SQLServerOpen "SQL_DRV:\MertechServerSQLServer2012MertechDB*dbo*customer" as customer
PostGreSQLopen "MDSPGSQL:\localhostframework*customer" as customer
Oracleopen "ORA_DRV:\ora11gmertech*customer" as customer
You can also open an SQL table directly using the "Open As" option in VDF dbExplorer by typing the complete SQL table path.
