Turns out the dbf export code needs at least another patch.
DBF export missed support for ftfloat and other field types.
Issue + patch at
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=20160
I have applied the patch (partially). Thank you.
Thank you, also for the explanation in the bug report.
Wasn't aware of your/maintainers' preferences regarding naming, so I'll
keep that in mind. To be honest, just thought you guys were lazy & old
fashioned to use I & J as loop counter variables ;)
No, brevity is a virtue. Small is beautiful :-)
Just out of curiousity: Are you planning extensive improvements in the
Lazarus Data desktop ? :)
No, still trying to get an application to work that sucks in a custom
record type and spits out
- CSV (needs to be fixed, see below)
- DBF (as mentioned, needs more fixes, working on that next)
- Excel xls
- Access XML (Access .mdb or .accdb would have been nicer, but well...)
- possibly SQL insert statements when that is fixed (see below)
See outputparser directory in source:
https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/db2securityscript/src
I've noticed that SQL insert statement output (issue 19937) and CSV
output (issue 19759) don't work well either (quoting issues for memo
fields and/or blobs), so if anyone's feeling in a bug fixing mood,
there's patches in there already ;)
I'll definitely have a look at them later today.
I do intend also to upload the dbf export test I used in these bug
reports for inclusion in the fcl db test directory.
Great !
Also, creating a Lazarus XMLSDExport component, and possibly rewriting
CSVexport to use sdfdata, so it needs less code (current code basically
duplicates what sdfdata does...)
Well, the reason I didn't do that was that I wanted to test the generated
files with sdfdata. Kind of a cross-check.
You are aware that the Export components can be registered inside lazarus ?
Why, are you looking for people to improve Datadesktop (any hints) or
planning to improve it yoursel? ;)
I continuously improve it (slowly), and now your patches do as well, all
these components are used in the data desktop :-) But from your descriptions
I gathered that you were working on something similar as the data desktop.
Michael.
