consider
acedb> model A2
?A2 A Text Text Int
B Text ?Text Int
C Text
we no longer allow emty or blank ?Text, but this is ok for Text
example:
acedb> parse
// Type in your data in .ace format, then CTRL-D to finish
A2 a21
A toto tuutu 67
A2 a31
A "" tutu 42
// 2 objects read with 0 errors// 2 Active Objects
acedb> show
A2 : "a21"
A toto tuutu 67
A2 : "a31"
A tutu 42
// 2 object dumped
// 2 Active Objects
acedb> parse
// Type in your data in .ace format, then CTRL-D to finish
A2 a41
B toto "" 31
// Parse error near line 2 in a41 : Blank object names names are illicit, sorry
*************
Do you think that empty ?Text : " " beeing equivalent to ""
should be allowed back in future releases
personally, i would say yes,
note that the ace dump is correct:
acedb> show -a
A2 : "a21"
A "toto" "tuutu" 67
A2 : "a31"
A "" "tutu" 42
