Re: INSERTing datastructure into table with GENERATED ALWAYS column.

But if you add a column and recompile everything as Rob put forth...

Wouldn't having the indicator array would mean you'd have to actually
modify the code to increase the size?

Even if not, wouldn't the default value mean you'd have to modify it to use
a value that prevents the new column from being used?

As I see it, if you recompile, you have to test. Maybe not a big deal if
you have all your tests automated. But I've yet to work in such an
environment. So I much prefer to not have to recompile.

So it is better to only put the values that your RPG actually modifies

on

your INSERT statement.

You can still accomplish all that using a single INSERT statement
that lists ALL columns just by using an extended indicator array to
control which columns are actually inserted. Perhaps it is personal
preference but I see this as having greater flexibility with less coding.
