Reviewing other tables whilst creating a new one |

When creating a new table I often want to check the structure of an existing table. Currently I open another copy of EDBMan, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to review these in the Create/Alter table dialogue at some point in the future? Roy Lambert |

I'll have to see whether this can be done or not. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Not necessarily, just add another tab onto the page control and allow users to select a table to display the structure of. Roy Lambert |

Thinking a bit more the ability to print the table structure would be acceptable, possibly just the sql used to create it. That might even be better for my purposes. Roy Lambert |

You mean Reverse engineer the database Open Windows Explorer [Forget the directory selected and reverse engineer again to find it] Find the directory Open reverse engineered code in suitable app Select each table in turn and Print definition As opposed to Click "Print definitions" button Roy Lambert |

Please note cheating is not allowed (unless I do it) - your step 2 is actually a summary of four steps. Roy Lambert |

I'm just trying like crazy to not be forced to put in another stinky report writer that comes with Delphi. Maybe I'll just use an RTF component to do the printing. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

>Okay, I give in. I'm just trying like crazy to not be forced to put in >another stinky report writer that comes with Delphi. That I can understand, and I know that you're determined to keep it to vanilla Delphi so can't use things like FreeReport even >Maybe I'll just >use an RTF component to do the printing. With all the extra bumph now possible for the various fields its not going to be easy to come up with a sensible format. As a compromise if we can reverse engineer one table I'll happily save to file and print each one Roy Lambert |
