3.1 Independent Operations

The Association utility supports seven independent operations:

Table 3-1 Independent Operations

Operation	Description	Read-Write Functionality
1	Lists objects associated with a driver (default).	Read-only
2	Lists objects that have multiple associations to a driver.	Read-only
3	Lists objects that have invalid associations to a driver. An association is invalid if: It is malformed. For example, the association is missing the schema RDN, missing the table RDN, or the schema keyword is misspelled. It contains database identifiers that do not map to identifiers in the target database. For example, an association includes a mapping to a table that does not exist. It maps to no row or multiple rows. An association is broken if it doesn’t map to a row. Also, associations aren’t unique if they map to more than one row.	Read-only
4	Lists objects that need to be normalized. A normalized association is valid, correctly ordered, and uses the correct case. Normal case is uppercase for case-insensitive databases and mixed case for case-sensitive databases.	Read-only
5	Normalizes object associations listed during operation 4.	Write
6	Lists object associations to be modified. Allows for global replacement of schema, table, and column names based on search criteria. This operation requires two parameters (oldRDN and newRDN). See Parameters for Searching and Replacing.	Read-only
7	Modifies object associations listed during operation 6. This operation requires two parameters (oldRDN and newRDN). See Parameters for Searching and Replacing.	Write
