LINGO can export a model’s solution to databases using the ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) standard.  Solutions exported to a database are sent to tables within the database.  The tables may contain more space for values than you are actually exporting.  In other words, there may be records at the end of a table that will not be receiving exported values from LINGO.  The Fill Out ODBC Tables option determines how these extra cells and records are treated.

When the Fill Out Ranges and Tables option is enabled (SET FILOUT 1), LINGO overwrites the extra values with null entries.  Conversely, when the option is not enabled, LINGO leaves any extra values untouched.

The Fill Out ODBC Tables option is disabled by default.
