Receive Schema Mismatch Error When Trying to Create a New Database in Actian Control Center

Receive Schema Mismatch Error When Trying to Create a New Database in Actian Control Center

Released Date: 02/07/2025
Version: PSQL 15 & Up

QI tried adding a data source on our new server with PSQL 15. I copied the DDF path and data as it appeared in the old server.  But it gives us a “schema mismatch” error and doesn’t work. We don’t really know what to do past that.

A - Please see the following KB article on how to create a new database:

                https://support.netcellent.com/portal/en/kb/articles/create-a-new-database-in-the-pcc-for-relational-engine-access

Substitute the proper DDF and data path when creating the database.  What likely happened was that the checkbox “Long metadata (V2 metadata)” was enabled, which is PSQL 15’s default behavior.  You need to uncheck that option. See sample screen below:
