Thread Don't save the TDBISAMDatabase.Connected property
Sat, May 21 2016 2:00 PMPermanent Link

Hello,

We use DBISAM in our software which have many projects with TDBISAMDatabase.

In Design-Time, to test Querys, Add Field objects to Tables, etc... the TDBISAMDatabase.Connected property comes TRUE.
If the project is saved at this point, this property still true when project is reopened.
When we need to build a version of project, we always need to remember to set this Connected property back to False, because the connection is always made in runtime (and properties of connection).

In the FireDac Connection there is a property that set if is to store the connection property at the .dfm.

I wonder if it's possible to implement a property like this.

Would make our daily work more practical...

Thank you very much

If you're using Delphi and the version you're using supports GExperts there's a facility to set component properties. In my version its Configuration | Set component properties. I used it for years in DBISAM to make sure everything was close and use it not for ElevateDB to make sure that engine, session, database, tables, queries are all closed before saving.

Sure.  We have something like this in ElevateDB, but I can see about back-porting it to DBISAM.

Hi Tim,

Just wondering if you ended up making any traction with this? Smile

Cheers

Sorry, the new DBISAM had to go out fast, due to this incident:

https://www.elevatesoft.com/incident?action=viewaddr&category=dbisam&release=4.44&incident=4563

so I didn't get a chance to squeeze it in.

I will do so in the next build.

Hi Tim,

No problems - no urgency with this one.

However I'm stoked about the incident that you've managed to resolve. We've been experiencing similar issues with our clients (although not at such a catastrophic level - but where dead sessions weren't being cleared up) and believe that it may be related to this - so I'll be excited to try out the new release to see if this resolves issues!

Cheers

Adam.

Yeah, it was fixed in EDB earlier in the year and was supposed to have been moved over to DBISAM at the same time, but I missed it. Frown

This is why I'm working diligently on trying to combine the various product codebases as much as possible.  They should be sharing quite a bit of foundational code, but aren't currently.

That sounds like an excellent plan. Would that include sharing codebases both ways (such as insert into memory, and IF EXISTS)    <vbcg>

Tim,

Can you consider this enhancement for the next version of DBISAM ?

It will be very useful to us.

Thank you.

Yes, I've got a new DBISAM build coming out soon, and I will try to get that enhancement in there.
