Functions that behave differently in SBM on-demand:

• CreateObject
  • AppRecord-based objects can only be created if they are based on a table that is from the current user's namespace, such as a primary or auxiliary table, or from a system table that has a TS_NAMESPACEID column (rows from namespace-striped tables can only be read if they match the current user's namespace).
  • SBMLibrary is not allowed on-demand.
• Ext.CreateAppRecord
  • AppRecord-based objects can only be created if they are based on a table that is from the current user's namespace, such as a primary or auxiliary table, or from a system table that has a TS_NAMESPACEID column (rows from namespace-striped tables can only be read if they match the current user's namespace).
• Ext.CreateVarRecord, Ext.CreateProjectBasedRecord
  • The record must be for a table that is valid for the user's namespace.
• Ext
  • Functions that refer to table data, such as TableDatabaseName, must refer to a table from the user's namespace or a system table.
• AppRecord.Read, AppRecord.ReadByColumn, AppRecord.ReadByColumnAndColumn
  • No data is read from tables that are not directly tied to the namespace or have a TS_NAMESPACEID column. No records are returned in namespace-striped tables in which the TS_NAMESPACEID is not the current user's namespace.
• AppRecordList.Read, AppRecordList.ReadByColumn, AppRecordList.ReadByColumnAndColumn
  • No data is read from tables that are not directly tied to the namespace or have a TS_NAMESPACEID column. No rows are returned in namespace-striped tables in which the TS_NAMESPACEID is not the current user's namespace.
