Re: WRITE .var TO FILENAME

[MikeB]

This is the method of retrieving those datatypes (varbit/varchar) from the database into a variable and placing (writing) the variable to a file for use.    Example of Use:  I use this method to store some script files(non RBase) in the database and if the files are missing (checked for existence in code) they are retrieved from the db and written to disk, then executed in-line as if they were there to start with.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob Vincent To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2002 4:51 PM Subject: Re: WRITE .var TO FILENAME Thanks Mike for the clarification on what the variable needs to be defined as [varchar/bit]. Who'd a thunk.   Incidently, why would you use this instance of the syntax? Sounds like the COPY command to me... What am I missing?   - Rob
