Missing tables and procedures for Python - 1.0
Extension ID
com.castsoftware.python.missingtable
What’s new?
See Release Notes.
Description
This extension is designed to analyze SQL queries embedded in Python code and create “missing” SQL and Python table / procedure objects to represent SQL objects that have not been delivered for analysis. Links to these objects are also created. The primary goal of the extension is to ensure that a full transaction is identified by CAST, resulting from the SQL queries embedded in the Python code, even if none or only part of the referenced SQL objects are delivered for analysis.
