Thank you all!

I also provide sql statements for security tables, for the case someone wants to use pfc security and don't have sql anywhere.

CREATE TABLE "DBA"."security_apps" (
	"application" VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
	"description" VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY ( "application" ASC )
) IN "system";
CREATE TABLE "DBA"."security_groupings" (
	"group_name" VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
	"user_name" VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY ( "group_name" ASC, "user_name" ASC )
) IN "system";
CREATE TABLE "DBA"."security_info" (
	"application" VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
	"window" VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
	"control" VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,
	"user_name" VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
	"status" CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY ( "application" ASC, "window" ASC, "control" ASC, "user_name" ASC )
) IN "system";
CREATE TABLE "DBA"."security_template" (
	"application" VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
	"window" VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
	"control" VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,
	"description" VARCHAR(254) NOT NULL,
	"object_type" VARCHAR(24) NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY ( "application" ASC, "window" ASC, "control" ASC )
) IN "system";
CREATE TABLE "DBA"."security_users" (
	"name" VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
	"description" VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
	"priority" INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
	"user_type" INTEGER NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY ( "name" ASC )
) IN "system";

ALTER TABLE "DBA"."security_groupings" ADD CONSTRAINT "security_groupings_group" NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY ( "group_name" ASC ) REFERENCES "DBA"."security_users" ( "name" ) ON DELETE CASCADE;
ALTER TABLE "DBA"."security_groupings" ADD CONSTRAINT "security_groupings_user" NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY ( "user_name" ASC ) REFERENCES "DBA"."security_users" ( "name" ) ON DELETE CASCADE;

Hi.

The database mentioned by John can be found on github (2021/pfc17.db at master · OpenSourcePFCLibraries/2021 (github.com)).

This one will run with sql anywhere. Username and password are the default (dba - sql).

It contains the following tables:

• "DBA"."Messages"
• "DBA"."security_apps"
• "DBA"."security_groupings"
• "DBA"."security_info"
• "DBA"."security_template"
• "DBA"."security_users"

From those tables only the first one is really needed. The security* tables are used by pfc security "add-on" which I haven't used for years. If you also don't need it then don't create those tables.

Follows the message table definition in sql anywhere. One thing I like to change is to make message table on dbo user. But it's up to you to see if having that table with dba as owner is ok or not.

CREATE TABLE "DBA"."Messages" (
	"msgid" CHAR(40) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
	"msgtitle" CHAR(255) NOT NULL,
	"msgtext" CHAR(255) NOT NULL,
	"msgicon" CHAR(12) NOT NULL,
	"msgbutton" CHAR(17) NOT NULL,
	"msgdefaultbutton" INTEGER NOT NULL,
	"msgseverity" INTEGER NOT NULL,
	"msgprint" CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
	"msguserinput" CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY ( "msgid" ASC )
) IN "system";
COMMENT ON TABLE "DBA"."Messages" IS 'Pre-Defined Messages.';
COMMENT ON COLUMN "DBA"."Messages"."msgid" IS 'Message ID';
COMMENT ON COLUMN "DBA"."Messages"."msgtitle" IS 'Title';
COMMENT ON COLUMN "DBA"."Messages"."msgtext" IS 'Text';
COMMENT ON COLUMN "DBA"."Messages"."msgicon" IS 'Icon';
COMMENT ON COLUMN "DBA"."Messages"."msgbutton" IS 'Button';
COMMENT ON COLUMN "DBA"."Messages"."msgdefaultbutton" IS 'Default Button.';
COMMENT ON COLUMN "DBA"."Messages"."msgseverity" IS 'Severity';
COMMENT ON COLUMN "DBA"."Messages"."msgprint" IS 'Print';
COMMENT ON COLUMN "DBA"."Messages"."msguserinput" IS 'UserInput';

And here are the default lines included in that table:

INSERT INTO dba.messages (msgid, msgtitle, msgtext, msgicon, msgbutton, msgdefaultbutton, msgseverity, msgprint, msguserinput)
VALUES('pfc_closequery_failsvalidation','Application','The information entered does not pass validation and must be corrected before changes can be saved.~r~n~r~nClose without saving changes?','Exclamation','YesNo',2,5,'N','N');

INSERT INTO dba.messages (msgid, msgtitle, msgtext, msgicon, msgbutton, msgdefaultbutton, msgseverity, msgprint, msguserinput)
VALUES('pfc_closequery_savechanges','Application','Do you want to save changes?','Exclamation','YesNoCancel',1,0,'N','N');

INSERT INTO dba.messages (msgid, msgtitle, msgtext, msgicon, msgbutton, msgdefaultbutton, msgseverity, msgprint, msguserinput)
VALUES('pfc_dsaccepttext','Application','Failed accepttext validation on datastore.  Column  %s  on row  %s.','Exclamation','Ok',1,20,'N','Y');

INSERT INTO dba.messages (msgid, msgtitle, msgtext, msgicon, msgbutton, msgdefaultbutton, msgseverity, msgprint, msguserinput)
VALUES('pfc_dwdberror','Application','%s','StopSign','Ok',1,20,'N','N');

INSERT INTO dba.messages (msgid, msgtitle, msgtext, msgicon, msgbutton, msgdefaultbutton, msgseverity, msgprint, msguserinput)
VALUES('pfc_dwlinkage_predelete','Application','Delete row(s)?','Exclamation','OkCancel',1,0,'N','N');

INSERT INTO dba.messages (msgid, msgtitle, msgtext, msgicon, msgbutton, msgdefaultbutton, msgseverity, msgprint, msguserinput)
VALUES('pfc_dwlinkage_requiredmissing','Application','Required value missing for %s on row %s.  Please enter a value.','Information','Ok',1,5,'N','N');

INSERT INTO dba.messages (msgid, msgtitle, msgtext, msgicon, msgbutton, msgdefaultbutton, msgseverity, msgprint, msguserinput)
VALUES('pfc_dwlinkage_rowchanging','Application','Updates are pending. ~r~nSave them now?','Exclamation','YesNoCancel',1,0,'N','N');

INSERT INTO dba.messages (msgid, msgtitle, msgtext, msgicon, msgbutton, msgdefaultbutton, msgseverity, msgprint, msguserinput)
VALUES('pfc_requiredmissing','Application','Required value missing for %s on row %s.  Please enter a value.','Information','Ok',1,5,'N','N');

INSERT INTO dba.messages (msgid, msgtitle, msgtext, msgicon, msgbutton, msgdefaultbutton, msgseverity, msgprint, msguserinput)
VALUES('pfc_requiredmissingondatastore','Application','Required value missing for %s on row %s.','StopSign','Ok',1,20,'N','Y');

Hi, Jorge -

The "PFC User's Guide" documentation from PB v9 mentions a local database named PFC.DB that was supposed distributed with the PFC, but there is no information about how to create your own version of this database. According to this document, this local database is/was accessible via ODBC.

I do not have a copy of this database file, but perhaps someone else in the Appeon Community does.

I don't think this is it. There is a script that is run to create certain tables used by the pfc. one of the tables is called MESSAGES.   The messages table could be in the file used to create the pfc security tables. Thanks

Is this what you seek?
I'd attach the file, but .SQL is not allowed as an attachment type. Nor is .TXT.
