To whom it may concern, you are likely to receive the following error when using the artifact generation wizard w/ a spatially enabled Informix database. To solve this, remove all spatial data types.

Name and version of the database you are using:
Informix 10 w/ spatial data blade

so sybase has a bug regarding this ?

Is there any know workarounds ?

/max

I can check to see if this still happens next week at work if it means anything to you.

I'm pretty sure sybase doesn't want to hear about though ;)

its just that with some of the new changes in the code i can provide custom rev.eng. per dialect which might solve this issue.
