Description

Reason for deprecation

The Fill Utility is being deprecated for several reasons:

  • The tool does not perform any validation checks before it executes commands. Therefore, data can become corrupted.

  • SQL can be used to update multiple records much more efficiently and accurately. By giving this power to a SQL database administrator, we help guarantee data integrity.

Replaced by another feature

Yes. The feature has been removed and replaced by the use of standard SQL updates. For more information, see update_recordset.

Modules affected

All (A subset of tables is supported within each module.)

Changes to installation
