Here is a script to generate the PowerBuilder ‘cat’ tables for SQL Server (pbcatcol, pbcatedt, pbcatfmt, pbcattbl, pbcatvld).\u00a0 Depending upon the permissions of the user who is connecting, these may not be created automatically from PB.\u00a0 Modify to reflect the database user as appropriate (dbo in this script).\u00a0 Supposedly this is available from the installation files but damn if I could find it.<\/p>\n
If you are migrating from one db to another you may need to generate your own scripts for the data depending upon whether or not you added to the tables.<\/p>\n
