Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate | Is there a chance that the engine could be given database methods, and the database be given table methods?
I know all you'd do is internally create a query and assign the necessary bits to it but I for one would find it a lot easier than having to assign Configuration as the database to a query and then run a select statement rather than do something like engine.DatabaseExists(dbname) or engine.CreateDatabase(dbname,dbpath) Roy Lambert |

<< Is there a chance that the engine could be given database methods, and the database be given table methods? >> No. It was a nightmare with DBISAM in terms of support and documentation, and I have no intention of reliving it for EDB. It also completely screws up the ability to make timely modifications to the SQL syntax. Due to all of the methods, properties, etc. in DBISAM 4, it took almost 4 months to do the documentation. EDB required a fraction of that time to do the same for the SQL manual. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

My suggestion is inherit TEBxxx components and you can create how many methods you want. It is safe and I have been using this with DBISAM and it works very well. In this way you can change the behavior of something without changing the core DBISAM engine. Eduardo |

I'll probably end up writing a few utility functions (I already have for DBISAM) but I thought it would be nice if they were in the core product, but it seems as though Tim has some good reasons for keeping them out. Roy Lambert |

I understand your point but like you said Tim need to walk in standards and I agree with it. Eduardo |
