hello;
Stats: EDB 1.09 b3
Delphi 2007

Question:
Is there a way to load a prebuilt script, created in EDBManager, then Import that script  into a EDBScript Component at run time?

if not would't that be a cool feature?

TIA

Allan

Allan,

Did you try using:

MyEDBScript.SQL.LoadFromFile('c:\test\myscript.sql');

?

If this method is DBISAm as well I'll throw myself on my "if" statement
Thanks

I must be missing something - isn't that a stored procedure?

Roy;
Hi.  I just getting into EBD and "Stored procedures" have not come up on the guitar yet.
I have never used Load from file  in DBISAM, even it it exists, but always thought it was a good idea.
I have a little time now; we are between cycles on this project ; and I thought I would convert all of my code to D2007 and EDB.
I'm likeing D2007 and the  more I use EDB  the more I like it  as well

I think Tim may be slightly wrong Remember the sql property is a strings so SQL.Lines.LoadFromFile will work in DBISAM and ElevateDB

Nope, the SQL property is a TStrings property, therefore it doesn't have a
Lines property itself like a TMemo, etc.

TStrings does have a LoadFromFile method itself, but its virtual, so
would need implementing in a descendant class.

Link to RAD Studio 2007 help topic:

Virtual means "overridable", not "need to implement", which is what abstract
does.  Perhaps you're thinking of "virtual; abstract" ?   The LoadFromFile
method is indeed implemented in the TStrings class.

Yeah sorry your right.  I thought it was virtual abstract.   

I miss read the Delphi declaration.  I use C++ and PHP at work and
after a while, all the languages murge into one.
