Ability to "view" contents of an UPDATE file at some level |

Adam Brett Orixa Systems | When you call "SAVE UPDATES" on a database, you create an EDBUpd file.
In Explorer it is possible to see the size in Kb of this file, also the file has associated data such as date-time of creation. However EDBMgr doesn't give any "more" information about the file. i.e. if you right click on the file in EDBMgr you are given the option to "View" but clicking this just gives the response "no application is associated with the file" ... It should be possible to "open" the EDBUpd file and see a simple grid layout containing some perhaps just basic information on the contents of the Update, i.e. * Table X, 12 new records, 35 updated records XXX bytes of data to update * Table Y 5 new records, .... etc. Ideally with a panel showing: Date of update, name of source db (if such data is stored in the EDBUpd file!) etc. Such a view allows some basic reconciliation by the programmer to actually check that the update process is saving the correct data, for example where update strategies are more complicated. -- I guess if you do this you would have to do something similar for other EDB file types i.e. EDBBkp etc. But those would also be very useful! |

It will require the creation of a bunch of little applets to handle the various file types, but it's certainly do-able. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
