EWB 3 Build 8 - Problem When Server Database Configuration Saved

Sun, Apr 12 2020 5:15 PM	Permanent Link
Rob Frye	When configurations within Servers - Internal - Databases are saved, the ewbsrvr.db is not being written out properly. A file of only 6 bytes is created. For example, make a change in Databases (eg. add a database or dataset) and then stop the server or close the IDE. When trying to restart the server or starting the IDE, a 'Stream read failure' error will occur. The only way I can address the problem is to delete the damaged ewbsrvr.db file. Configurations that were created with earlier builds of EWB seem to function properly until they are edited. (The error message is exactly the same as what Steve already reported.) Rob

I will have a build 9 out shortly for this. In the meantime, don't edit any server-side objects until the fix is out. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com

Rob Frye	Hi Tim The 'DB' extension on the mentioned file caused me to wonder if you were using SQLite. If so, are you giving any consideration to adding SQLite as a fourth engine choice for databases? Rob

The web server has some specific requirements in this area, specifically in terms of performance, compression, and versioning of server objects. You can use SQLite now via the ADO/ODBC database engine type. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com
