"Jose Eduardo Helminsky"	Hi everyone I am building a special web server to handle dbisam tables without use of cgi programs. My intention is make use of Pascal Scripts to act like an ASP page into a lightweight web server. My doubt, someone have already used access dbisam tables inside scripts ? All the other things is already working but I have to acces dbisam tables inside functions like: dbopen(1,'table1'); output('<html>'); if dbfindkey(1,[]) then begin output('<b>Found</b>'); end else begin output('<b>Not found<b>'); end; output('<html>'); dbclose(1); and I would like to use TDBISamTable assigned to a variable like: var T: TDBISamTable; T := TDBISamTable.Create(nil); try T.TableName := 'X'; ... T.Close; finally T.Free; end; Eduardo

Michael Baytalsky	Hi Jose, Do you have a specific scripting engine in mind or do you ask for an advise on which scripting to use? I can of course recommend our Context Scripting, which is close to Pascal, only it doesn't have strong typing. I.e. your code would look like: var T; // no type here begin T := TDBISAMTable.Create; try T.FindKey .... finally T.Free; end; end; You can look at it here: http://www.contextsoft.com/products/ctxscript There's no dbisam demo, but there's a demo on how to publish classes and global scope procedures. TDataSet methods are already published, so you will only need to publish a few methods, like TDBISAMTable.Create and TDBSIAMQuery.Create. Also, note, that you will have to create a separate instance of scripting for each server thread (i.e. it's not thread-safe). I was actually planning to write a small http server as a demo for scripting myself, but as often happens, got too busy with more important things Instead, there's a demo/components for a simple (but quite powerful) html/text reporting, which can be used to generate html pages. That one includes some database access functions via BDE.
