Table migration question - name changes

Support, Troubleshooting, & Help
1

Hello, I have a question regarding migrating a table from one instance to another.

What happens in the following circumstance?

  • I migrate a table from “Tulip Instance A” to “Tulip Instance B”
  • The two tables have identical IDs
  • I change the name of the table in “Tulip Instance B”
  • I migrate the table again from “Tulip Instance A” to “Tulip Instance B”

Is a second table created in instance B?
Are the tables merged and the name updated?
Are the tables merged and the ‘new’ name retained?

Best,
Kevin

Hi Kevin!

Had to confirm with the team on this one, but in the scenario you described, the tables should be merged, but the name of the merged table will be the same as the table from instance A.

Does this help?

Hi Beth, yes this helps! Thank you very much. I am relieved that the tables are expected to merge. I can handle the name changing, but a table merge error would be a bummer!

Best,

Kevin
