Flex2SQL will auto generate these files:

  1. mdsrestruct.src (Its the file you will compile using your VDF compiler)

  2. MdsRestructureHelper.pkg (This package contains helper functions for restructuring your databases when using the mertech drivers)

  3. <YourTable>.inc (It has the procedure with the restructure code)


Using "Create or Restructure Table" option, after doing all you need in the table, go to Results TabPage, make sure the "Selected workspace and VDF version" mode is selected in Source Settings TabPage, click in "Save" button in the "Source Code" TabePage and the three files will be generated.
