Database Warnings

Database warnings help you configure the database mappings, the robots and the referenced databases correctly. The warning system automatically monitors for potential problems such as type validation issues, missing tables, or missing database mappings and if an issue arises, a warning message is displayed in a status bar.

Also, the warning system will monitor which databases names are used in robots and assist in creating any missing mappings. The system performs a shallow monitoring of the databases, which means that it does not constantly ping the databases to see if they are online, but rather updates the information as needed. The system caches the table structures of the relevant database tables and uses this cache to compute any warnings to prevent an excessive number of database queries. The cache is recreated when Design Studio knows something has happened that requires it. Any external modifications of the database tables or the database availability are not monitored. There is the option of rebuilding the database cache for a single database or for all databases. This option is available through the database view, and through and through warnings, as applicable. For instance, to recreate the cache for a database, right-click it in the Database view and select Refresh.
