EDB Store drive/directory? |
Sat, Apr 6 2019 2:01 AM | Permanent Link |
Ian Branch | Hi Team,
I have an EDB Store called 'Exports' in E:\DBiWorkflow\Data\Exports. This is fine for me but not relevant to my Client. Is there a way to retrieve the EDB Store 'Exports' drive/directory from within Delphi? Regards & TIA, Ian |

These days when I want to find out anything about the system / database I look to see if there's a configuration or information table - worth having a look at the schema in EDBManager's OLH Roy Lambert |

Ian Branch | Hi Roy,
Ahhh. I looked up Configuration Database and it listed what I guess are all the tables in the configuration database. I never realised, nor did it occur to me that it was there. Another lesson learned, another day not wasted. Regards, Ian |

<< I have an EDB Store called 'Exports' in E:\DBiWorkflow\Data\Exports.

In such a case, you can set your configuration file path to 'E:\DBiWorkflow', set your Database path to 'Data', and finally set your store to 'Data\Exports', and EDB will resolve these all without issue as long as the Data and Exports paths are always present underneath the configuration file directory. This feature allows you to move configuration files around without worrying about updating the paths for all of the included database and store objects.

Ahh. Now that's handy. Thanks Tim |
