I'm running D7 Pro+SP.

Following the instructions to the letter in the help under "Local Application
for Delphi 7"  I cannot get the TEDBDatabase to connect find the database/table
created.  They exist because Ican see them in the d:\Tutorial\DB folder and
ElevateDB Manager can see them.

EDBEngine says it's active & EDBSession connected is True but I cant get
EDBDatabase to connect/see anything.

Where have i gone wrong??

Regards,

Ian

Are you running Delphi from a different drive letter than the data (d?

HI Tim,

   Yep.  Delphi resides on the C: drive under Program files|Borland, per normal
install.

A little more FYI.

   I have all my Apps installed on the C: drive, all my purchased/sourced
libraries, files, source, etc and ancillary stuff on the D: drive and all my
development work occurs on the E: drive unless I am working on demos/examples
that come with any particular program/app/library, in which case it is the
respective installed drive.

In this case I have installed EDB into the d:\ElevateDB drive/directory and
created an Examples directory under that where I am working this example.

May not be conventional/standard but it has worked for me since before my CP/M
days.

That should be fine, you just have to make sure to specify the drive letter
when you create the database.

Yup.  Done that.  In the TEDBDatabase, step 9 of the "Required Steps", I can
see the Session OK but can only see 'configuration' & 'memory' as possible
DatabaseNames.  If I type in Tutorial into the field and try to Connect, I get
an "ElevateDB error #401, The database Tutorial does not exist."

Ian,

What do you have set for EDBEngine.ConfigPath in the test app?
It must be the path to the same config file you have set in ElevateDb
Manager.

HI Fernando,

   I have tried both "d:\Tutorial" & "d:\tutorial\DB" in the ConfigPath.

   Looking in the Manager it says the Tutorial Database is in "d:\Tutorial\db".

   As we don't have a binary are for this NG yet I have attached all the files in
my "d:\Tutorial\db" directory for examination.

Ian

Ian,

I still think the problem is with the config path.
If you didn't change the config path after installing EDB Manager, you have
created the tutorial database using the config file located at the default
path, that is:
"C:\Program Files\ElevateDB\AdditionalBeta\Version 1\util\edbmgr"
You can check that by right-clicking on "ElevateDB Manager" node and then
selecting "Edit Options".
The path that you have set there is the path you should have as
EDBEngine.ConfigPath in your app.

Trying to open your database, I always get an error message, but I'll post
that in a new thread, since I think it is not related with the problem you
have.

I'm also using D7 and i have the exact same problem...

What i've done:
1. Create a new database in C:\temp  (see edbm.jpg)
2. Create a empty project in D7. One form, containing a Engine, Session
and Database.
3. Change Engine.ConfigPath to "C:\temp" and set active:=true
4. Change Session.AutoSessionName:=true and session.connected:=true

If i then drop-down the "DatabaseName" property of the
database-component i only see "Configuration" and "Memory"...wasn't i
supposed to see "Temp"(as i created in EDBM)?

Thanks..
