Thread Using restore when you don't know which tables were backed up
Wed, Feb 28 2007 7:58 AMPermanent Link

Adam
I am trying to write a generic "Back up & restore" application which I can give to all my
customers now i am using V4.

All customers have different DB schema.

My app can easily select the tables to backup ... by giving the user a filebox with the
tablenames.

However, I won't then know the tablenames that are in the restore file ...

As the Restore function takes a "BackUpTables" TStrings parameter I am a bit stumped.

... am I missing something?

... sorry, I've just seen the BackUpInfo method ... with it I can analyse a Backup file to
find the table it contains ... & then pump this into the Restore Method.
