Dear Mr. VanCanneyt:
Thanks for your answer.
In the TDbf tutorial by Micha Nelissen it is included an example.
If I prepare an utility application for "reestructure tables", maybe i can
read the original table and the .mdx files, then introduce the new
TDbfFieldDefs collection as the Nelissen'example, built and run, obtain new
table and mdx files and copy to the original application. This is correct?
Yes. I do not know if index files are corrected. It may be that indexes must be
rebuilt.
I have done something as described, but using others commands, and it looks
rudimentary for me if we have a property/method for that.
I am not sure I understand this remark. What could be more simple than the
RestructureTable ?
Maybe it is possible to add something like
ResizeField(FieldName,NewSize)
and
RenameField(OldFieldName,NewfieldName)
These methods should be simple to implement.
But the advantage of the RestructureTable command is that it can do multiple fields at once.
Michael.
