Sean Cross | I thought the following blog post might be of interest here:
http://sourceitsoftware.blogspot.com/2008/04/database-versioning-part-2.html It describes how I use dbisam for relatively painless database versioning.

"Gregory Sebastian" | Thanks for sharing Sean,
<<the version number is stored (along with a bunch of other info) in an ini file in the database directory>> But is there a way to access the ini file when DBISam is used in Client / Server environments and the database folder is not shared out ? I use a similar technique as yours but I store the DB version number in one of the DBISam tables. This technique works on both local and remote sessions. The limitation is that the table that's storing the version number cannot be upgraded. Its structure has to remain constant throughout the different versions.

It does not matter what the table structure is. Robert |

"Gregory Sebastian" | Thanks Rob. I don't know why but for some reason I always thought that those
properties were for DBISam's internal versioning and never used them. regards gregory |
