When I try to add a table (and automatically add Columns) or when I try to add columns to a table using the catalog, I get the following error:

A column na\med 'SQL_NO_NULLS' already belongs to this DataTable.

Even though the table doesn't exist (in the first case) or there are no columns (in the second case). Any ideas?

No experience on this error, which database is it, is that for all tables ?
It looks like it tries to create a datatable having twice the same column name...

It is a filemaker database that I have been using with Ariacom for years. I know there are column names in some of tables that are not legal sql names. But I don't want to add them to the construct. All I'm trying to do is pick the fields I want from the catalogue list rather than having to define each one manually.

Actually it is because you have to double quote the table names in FileMaker instead of using []

Here is the workaround:

  • Add normally tables from catalog but in the dialog Uncheck "autocreate columns" and "autocreate" joins options
  • Then select one of the table created, replace [] by double quote, and set "Dynamic Columns" to true, finally use Refresh Colums helper (F9)

Could work for other weird database...
