The primary restriction regarding updating a .DBT file is that it cannot be done as part of a runtime application (an OpenInsight application deployed with a runtime engine), because OpenInsight runtime applications have “locked down” databases, and cannot:
Add or remove tables to the database definition;
Modify the database definition in other ways;
Add, remove, or rebuild indexes;
Create or delete tables;
Modify dictionaries.
The runtime license does permit the database of a runtime application to be modified during an upgrade (an upgrade created by an OpenInsight development system). Any of the above items can be performed as part of an application upgrade.
If you have questions about licensing, please contact Revelation Software either online (the licensing section of the www.revelation.com web site), by email (info@revelation.com) or by phone at (800) 262-4747 within North America.
