Description: 
IDE Build : Pilsen FCS RC1 (010803) EE
After connecting to a Pointbase database, DB Explorer allows browing of tables 
& thier indexes.
Right click on an Index and Choose Delete.
It might throw NullPointerException.

IDE would get frozen. You would need to Shutdown PB Server & Restart it.

Use attached Schema, try deleting indexes of table VENDORCONTACT,
it throws the  Exception : 
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcTmpResultSetMetaData.getColumnType(Unknown 
Source)
        at com.pointbase.net.netConnectionHandler.preInvokationProcessing

(Unknown Source)
        at com.pointbase.net.netConnectionHandler.run(Unknown Source)


Evaluation: 
During a specific action (e.g. drop system index) is being done IDE would 
appear to hang.  This condition can be remedied only by shutting down the 
Pointbase Server, outside the IDE.

It seems to be a Pointbase 3.5 issue. IDE does not freeze if it is
used with PointBase 4.0 and later.
