Hi All,
Just pondering about something.
How do you guys sort the data out for a new application installation?
Do you generate it from within your program using the data layer to
build up whatever files are required therefore the same generation code
can be used for DBF/MySQL/MSSQL/yada...?
Hi Tristan,
I'm sticking to DBF's for now so this only works for that option. It
also works nicely for when I modify a table or add a new one.
I have a new app installation exe that will generate all the DBF's for
me using a function in Stonefield Database Toolkit. I just make sure
the meta data files plus the DBC are copied over then I put in a text
file "update.txt" in the system folder and check for this on startup.
If the file is there I call
oMeta.SetDatabase(dbc())
IF oMeta.oSDTMgr.NeedUpdate()
oMeta.oSDTMgr.Update()
ENDIF
ERASE ('system\update.txt')
Cheers
Peter
