Macola Pervasive v7- PO History table
Hello,
I am trying to extract PO history from Macola.
I have the dictionary listing that describes each table and found a parcular table: POLINHST
The description says that it has deleted PO information.
When I checked this table it holds history information so now I am confused.
Does this table hold both deleted and history?

Hello pcelba,
Thank you for the response.
I actually want to extract PO history information from Macola into another DB. However, I am not too sure which table to look at.
The description of the POLINHST says that it contains deleted PO information but I am not too sure how correct that description is. I do not see any other table that pops out that would make me believe it contains PO history information. Does Macola see history information as deleted records?
There is a SOLINHST table, and it's description makes more sense, it says : this table holds Sales Order history information.
The name scheme between the PO and SO tables r the same but with very different descriptions.

ok
Obvious scenario of moving information (PO especially) to history is following:
1) Identify records which should be moved to history
2) Move records to history
3) Delete records from original table (because we don't need them in live data any more)
So, I would say the description is correct but the history table does not contain PO records deleted from original table before their moving to history... E.g. when user creates a PO and immediately decides it was a mistake and deletes it. I don't see any reason to collect such POs.
BTW, the table name POLINHST could mean it contains just "PO lines history", so you should look for "PO headings", as well.
