Poor Boy... The reason I ask is that there are DBISAM type databases. However you are using DBISAM it self wich may leave you in a bad situation.
Formatting on most databases is able to be done with SQL functions. I have had a look and the functions available on DBISAM is lacking. Are you using delphi or are you trying to do a direct query. You may need to perform formatting on the PHP/Delphi/ other end product. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Howard Sent: Friday, 24 June 2005 12:43 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DUG] SQL question Um.
