The copy option for a database does not work as a copy

[barrymavin]

Hi Hank,

Yes as you have pointed out. The original ticket however was to do with COPY DATABASE and the solution as you identified is to REBUILD the target database after the copy.

To answer your question about why you would not want to rebuild after a copy.

Databases are containers for tables and their associated resources. They can however contain linked tables that have been added interactively in the console using ADD TABLE which may not exist in the database contain itself.

With Lianja this is used rarely so performing a rebuild after a copy provides the solution .

Regarding your other observation, I will investigate. Normally closing a database closes all the tables and that also happens on opening a database. having browse windows open in a desktop application is the only time these can be affected. In a normal Lianja app the database stays open for the duration that the app is open. Web and mobile apps are not affected.
