"e"	Hi, Is there a upgrade map to migrate from V4 to ElevateDb ?. Including any SQL changes etc?. I would also like to use ElevateDB in the same manner I currently use DBISAM, sort of a pseudo file format. My file that users open in the application is actually a dbisam database backup which is renamed to my file extenstion. When they go file open, I restore the backup, set the dbisamdatabase to this folder and presto it all works. Can I do this exact behaviour in ElevateDB?. I got the impression that ElevateDB needed to be installed, in a similar manner to SQL Server?, or did I get the wrong end of the stick, Cheers Clive.

Then you'll need to create the database using the CREATE DATABASE statement: http://www.elevatesoft.com/edb1sql_create_database.htm So that the database name points to the proper directory where the database is stored. Then you can use the BACKUP/RESTORE DATABASE statements to perform your backup/restore functionality: http://www.elevatesoft.com/edb1sql_backup_database.htm http://www.elevatesoft.com/edb1sql_restore_database.htm Other than that, the rest is essentially the same. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com

Clive	Time to bite the bullet I think ! BTW, the restore html page contains references to Compression from the Backup page. Cut and paste overload Cheers Clive.

Cut and paste overload >> Yep, it's now fixed. There's also a "copy and paste" error in the Backing Up and Restoring Databases topic in the compiler-specific manual - it references the old TDBISAMDatabase.Restore method. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com
