How do we point an EDBDatabase component to a local directory?  With v4
we would just populate the Directory Property.

You need to create the database first:

I already created a database uisng EDBMgr called "Test".  This is local
to the machine.  I started the EDB Server running on the default port
of 12010.  I added a EDB session, Database and Table to a D7 form.  I
entered the session name property, and wired both the Database and
Table components to the same session.  All that is pretty much like I
would do in 4.0.  Now I have two properties for the Database component:

1. Database
2. DatabaseName

IWhen I drop dowwn the Database propery I only get 2 choices (1)
Configuration and (2) Memory.  It does not list my Test Database. I am
assuming once I get that solved I use the DatabaseName property to wire
up all my Dbisam query components just as I do in Dbisam?

How do I register the database so that it can be recognized by the
EDBServer.

Another question:  Do we need the server running for local sessions?  I
tried it without the sever but still could not get it to point to the
database I created.

I am obviously very confused.

You need to configure the EDB Server to use the same configuration file that
you used with the EDB Manager when you created the database.  You can
configure the EDB Server by:

1) Bringing up the interface via the system tray icon (right-click/Restore).
2) Clicking on the Stop Server task in the upper left-hand corner.
3) Clicking on the Edit Server Options task.
4) Changing the configuration file folder on the Configuration page and
clicking OK.
5) Clicking on the Start Server task.

No.

Same issue - you'll need to drop a TEDBEngine component on your form or data
module and make sure that the ConfigPath property is pointing to the proper
directory/folder where your configuration file is (the same as the EDB
Manager).

Ok, I did that.  Took me a couple of tries before I noticed that the
default config file name is different for EDBMgr then it is for the
Server.  Once I changed that I was able to wire up the Session and
Database components and get a connnection to the EDBServer.  However,
when I put a EDBTable component on the form, set the Database and
Session props it does not show the available tables in the Table prop.


I did get it to work fine with a LocalSession by following your
suggestion to use an EDBEngine component.  That worked fine.

Do you have the SessionName set properly for the TEDBTable component ?

David,

I can't reproduce what you're seeing here.  I'm using a basic remote session
and connecting it to a local EDB server at 127.0.0.1 and the tables show up
just fine.  Just to confirm - you are getting a list of databases when you
use the TEDBDatabase.Database property drop-down, correct ?

Tim,

I sent you a video file showing the entire setup. Hopefully that will
shed some light on it.

Hi Tim,  Yes I am getting the list of databases in the
TEDBDatabase.Database property.
