There ARE changes at the 7.10.UD1 rev. For example: 1. The sysconstraints table is changed. There is a new constr_type for columns which are NOT NULL. 2. The checkpoint record is changed and there is a special onmode command to revert to a prior rev of the engine. You should get "GUIDE TO 7.1 FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS". Part 000-7748. This book describes many changes occuring at 7.10.UD1 Regards, Steve Berg - spb@masada.nb.com
