Do a global search across you project. It must be there somewhere.

Roy Lambert

Hi Roy,

I made a search on TDBISAMDatabase now. There's only one TDBISAMDatabase
defined in whole project, and it's on the mainunit - called STARDB.

Hüseyin

OK try this

In the IDE, in the Object TreeView click on STAR

If it doesn't select a component then delete it - DO NOT save the project unless you have a backup

Try compiling and see where an error comes from.


Roy Lambert

Hi Roy,

I cannot delete STAR (Alias) as it does not exists as a component? When i
click on it the object inspector has (nothing selected) as value.

This is going to kill me

Have you searched all the DFM's and see if the you see the string in there? (instead of bouncing around all the VCL
props)

Hi Scott,

I've made a "Text" search in all files for TDBISAMDatabase, and only 1
instance was found, eg. STARDB (located on the mainform)

Hüseyin

As a result of doing a bit of debugging for myself I've just found something out.

I dropped a tdbisamtable onto a form, no tdbisamsession, no tdbisamdatabase and set the databasename to E:\HH Dev\Testdata and ......


I now have a "component" called e:\hh dev\testdata {Alias} in the Object TreeView

So what you're seeing in the Object TreeView is the fact that the databasename of some tables is set to STAR. In your case it looks like 5 queries and 5 tables.

I've never noticed that before.

Roy Lambert

Hi Roy,

It's correct
But.. where is this STAR defined as DBISAMDatabase or as databasename to a
existing DBISAMDatabase or even DBISAMSession.. that's my problem

I got this issue, because i wanted to implement backup in my app. Saw Tim's
code somewhere where you have to put DBISAMDatabase.. but since my only
DBISAMDatabase component is disabled, i decided to ask here

Hüseyin

Hüseyin,

<< But.. where is this STAR defined as DBISAMDatabase or as databasename to

What I *think* happens is that when you assign 'STAR' to the DatabaseName
property of a DBISAM dataset object, and there's no database object with the
name 'STAR', then you're implicitly giving the default DBISAM database
object the alias 'STAR'. If my assumption is correct, the reason that the
connection works is that the default database object is pointing to your
project folder and your tables happen to be in this folder. I guess the
connection would fail in the IDE, since the default database object is
created at run-time.

I think that's it. If Hüseyin tried what Scott suggests and looks in the .dfm's I'm betting he'll find 10 databasenames set to STAR
