Hi all.
I have a client who has a Clarion databse (Topspeed dbs) and we have now
brought the TopSpeed ODBC driver, and can access the files.
What we are trying ot do is when some data goes into a specific table,
it has to get that record, and do something with it.
Whats going to be the best way to do this do you think?
My thoughts have been:-
(1). do a record count and when the count is diff. go and get the new
record.....BUT what if 3 entries have been added...how do you know 3
have been added? what about, you go to get the last record, but another
2 have been added since you did the r/count....dont think this is an
option
(2). SOMEHOW monitor the table so that as stuff is added do something.
(3). Get the people who wrote the app. to make a mod that writes the
data to an identical table (structurally) and then r/count this. if its
>0 then it loop the records.
#3 seems to me the best...just costly.
The other problem IS, that we are trying to makeit as quick as poss. as
the data is being posted onto a webpage, and at the moment usething the
method we are using not, its about 1-2 mins before the new appears.
Anyone else got any other Ideas?
Jeremy
