Hi, within the edasprof.prf I want to be able to set 'SQL SQLMSS SET DATETIME OFF' but to apply to just one application directory, e.g HR. So that when synonyms are created in this application they are date format only. Is this possible please ?
Thanks
Alli

Low tech solution: I would suggest that you put the command in a user profile for an alternate user id. When you want to create synonyms with the timestamp off, then log on with the alternate user id to do it.

Thanks, hadn't thought of that, that is a work around.
Cheers

We actually use a create_synonym.fex ... that way we can turn it off/on per table. Also, we can add custom 'tweaks' to the generation...
