Removing the signature |
Tue, Jun 12 2007 4:43 AM | Permanent Link |
Is there a way to remove the signature from a table? My app has a custom
engine signature and I rebuilt dbsys to accept it. But in the IDE I can't access the table to fill in the field list. I wonder if it is possible for me to "zap" the reference project somehow to remove the signature to allow the IDE to access it? /Matthew Jones/ | |

"Donat Hebert \(Worldsoft\)" | AFAIK, the ONLY way is to shuttle it across from one app with your customer
signature to one with the Default signature. Of course if your table is small, you can reverse engineer it with DBSys. If its large, why not use ODBC to walk it over. HTH. Donat.

TVM. I'll think about it.

Aldo Caruso | Tim,
1- How can I copy the data from a table with a custom signature to a new table with the default signature (dbsys should have to manage two different signatures simultaneously) ? 2- Which is the purpose of the signature ? Does it actually add an additional security ?

It's useful when you want this type of functionality without being forced to encrypt everything. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Aldo Caruso | Tim,
Excuseme, it's rather confusing to me. I'm not using DBISam in client / sever mode. Do I need to use DBISam in client / server mode to do this stuff ? And, in that case, how can the database server open the tables with custom signature if it is using the default signature ?
