The transactional and relational interfaces are only loosely coupled.
If you add something at the Trans level, there is nothing that will
make it show up at the relational level -- you MUST alter the data
dictionary files (DDF's) for the database to add it.

If you use SQL statements to add the field to the DDF's, it should show
up almost immediately. If, however, you use some lo9w-level DDF editor
that goes around the SQL engine to make changes to the DDF's, then
you'll need to get ALL users out of that application (so that the DDF's
close) and then the new field should show up. Of course, restarting
the server or services will also work.
