Which component are you looking at that has a property of "Alias"?


Roy Lambert

Roy,

In Object Treeview:

- Default {DBISAMSession}
  -- <?> {STARDB}
  +-- STAR {Alias}

expand the implicit node "STAR {Alias}"....  the thing you are looking
for is inside the node...

you should see a component with name "alias" and databasename "star"

every database component has 2 properties:
1. "Name"
and
2. "DatabaseName"

that does not mean that the database has the same name....

What is the value of the "DatabaseName" property?... not the
component....!

if you don't see the databasename "right click" on Inspector and switch
"database".

The table components reference the "DatabaseName", not the component
name.

p.s.
the "?" components are not valid. If it's a query component the sql is
missing, if It's a table the tablename is missing.
if ya assign them at runtime it's ok...

The backup and restore facilities built into DBISAM v4 work with local tables
as well as C/S tables.

Look at the TDBISAMDatabase.Backup method.  Because it is built in to the
component, you can even do a backup of the entire database while the tables
are open and in use.

Hi Ralf,

A screendump is much better then words i guess

H|seyin,

as I wrote

thats what you see at designtime. if you would change the propertys
"star" to "mystar" there would be another node called "mystar
{alias}"...

not every symbol means a dropped component... see delphi help...

for further information how to handle the database name property see
http://www.elevatesoft.com/dbisam4d7_tdbisamdatabase_databasename.htm

how to link to a database see

Do you (or did you) have any TDBISAMTable or TDBISAMQuery components whose
DatabaseName property is "STAR" ?  That would be my guess as to what is
happening.

I see STARDB.DatabaseName is empty - what happens if you set it to "STAR"?

Tim,

All tables/queries on all forms have this "STAR" as Databasename value.

Hi Chris,

Databasename "STAR" does already exists! is what happenes when i try to set
Databasename to STAR. It's defined somewhere but where?

When i search on the mainunit, it does not find any "STAR"
