RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro
Bill, That looks like it should be a great help. The Foxpro stuff doesn't mean much to me, but I'll pass it on to the Foxpro programmer from the company I'm working for. There's a Tag in Nate's Tag gallery call CF_Waitfor which will wait for certain condition's to be true before continuing. When (if) I get the database packed, I can trigger one of said conditions. Can I get back to you if I need any further assistance? In the meantime, enjoy the vacation.

RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro
The VFP ODBC driver also has a setting that will allow you to ignore deleted records. That would be easier and if you add an index tag on DELETED(), it's optimizable too! ;-) Larry >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/15/00 03:43PM >>> Michael, Not a problem getting back. I have never tried to do a pack via ODBC. Pack is a native FoxPro command and as such I don't believe you can do it from the ODBC driver. It sounds like in order to physically remove the records you will need to write a FoxPro program that will pack the database for you. BTW, to do a pack you will need exclusive use of the table(s). So part of this process will be to insure that everyone is out of the database before doing the pack, or it will fail. Are you having problems when the records are deleted having them retrieved? The way we deal with this is to have a field in the record that marks the record as "deleted" without relying on FoxPro's deleted flag. Usually we use a DateTime field like tablename_deleted_datetime. The default value of this field is NULL and when we want to delete the record we store the current datetime in the field. Then when we select records we add 'AND ISNULL(table_deleted_datetime)' to the where clause to filter these records. Make sure to set an index on the table for this field so your query is Rushmore Optimizable. FYI, if it appears that my responses are a bit slow I appologize. I'm on vacation from 5/15 until 5/30 but, as you can tell, I do check my E-Mail once a day.

RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro
Bill, Thanks for the Tips I'm using the very latest version of MDAC (2.5) I'm also using the Visual Foxpro Driver VFPODBC.DLL Version 6.01.8629.01. When trying to create a DSN using the Microsoft Foxpro Driver (ODBCJT32.DLL version 4.00.4403.02) an error message appears saying "The Microsoft Foxpro Driver is no longer supported, and has been replaced by the Microsoft Visual Foxpro driver" I'm using the .dbc option (rather than free tables) I originally designed the Db in Access. The Client uses Foxpro and did the conversion. I'm assuming that the .dbc contains a desciption of all fields in the database. Since I don't have Foxpro, I have no way of checking this. I looked on Microsft's Foxpro documentation on MSDN but of course the examples of Inserting records di not have any Boolean field's in it. I'm close to giving up on this. I think I'll advise the Client to change the Boolean field to a Byte (TinyInt) and using 0 for False and 1 for True. Regards Michael O'Reilly Analyst Programmer TransAer -Original Message- From: Bill Grover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 May 2000 13:46 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro A couple of thoughts: What MDAC driver version are you running? Make sure you are at least at 2.1. Some of the older drivers had bugs. Which FoxPro driver are you using for the ODBC connection? If you have upgraded your MDAC drivers you might have a "Microsoft FoxPro" driver and a "Microsoft Visual FoxPro" driver. Use the "Microsoft Visual Foxpro" driver. The other driver is VERY flaky. Finally make sure you have selected either the Database or free table option properly. If the table you are accessing is part of a database then you must select the database.

RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro
A couple of thoughts: What MDAC driver version are you running? Make sure you are at least at 2.1. Some of the older drivers had bugs. Which FoxPro driver are you using for the ODBC connection? If you have upgraded your MDAC drivers you might have a "Microsoft FoxPro" driver and a "Microsoft Visual FoxPro" driver. Use the "Microsoft Visual Foxpro" driver. The other driver is VERY flaky. Finally make sure you have selected either the Database or free table option properly. If the table you are accessing is part of a database then you must select the database. Hope this helps. __ Bill Grover Supervisor IS DepartmentPhone: 301.424.3300 x396 EU Services, Inc.

RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro
Larry,
Thanks for the reply, apologies for not getting back sooner.
INSERT INTO Tablename (BooleanField) VALUES (.T.)
Sorry, but this doesn't work for me.
I've also tried this code in Borlands SQL explorer using the ODBC connection
to the database I'm using. As I suspected Access (i.e. Jet) was doing some
conversion to make the SQL I was testing work with the linked ODBC Foxpro
databases. But when using just ODBC (i.e. in CF or SQL explorer with Jet out
of the equation) you get an error if the ODBC datasource doesn't like your
SQL.

The strange thing is that I can add records using SQL through Access (
although I suspect that Jet is doing conversion on the SQL) and then update
the field using
UPDATE Tablename SET Tablename.BooleanField = 0
WHERE Tablename.CompanyID = 5
or
UPDATE Tablename SET Tablename.BooleanField = 1
WHERE Tablename.CompanyID = 5
will toggle the field to True or False

Subject: RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro
I just caught up with the thread, I would be very surprised if the .T.
doesn't work. My understanding (I don't pretend to be the final expert) is
that ODBC takes whatever you give it and passes it through to the backend
database. Now for some database types it has to manipulate it a lot but for
something like FoxPro that understands SQL commands ODBC would just pass the
command to the FoxPro engine as you enter it.
Therefore FoxPro only understands the .T. and .F. as true and false so you
need to use them.
Best of luck!

RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro
If I used #TRUE# (without quotes) then ColdFusion would think I was
referencing a variable called True.
I could try it but I would expect an error.
Unfortunately I haven't got Foxpro to look at the help.

Re: Boolean fields in Foxpro
Going off the wall here again, when you used '#TRUE#'

I know most Boolean uses 0 and -1 for other data types as

Have you hit the HELP file in Foxpro?
When Boolean values are converted to other data types,
False becomes 0 and True becomes -1.

RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro
I've already tried VALUES (0), I'm assuming that TRUE needs to be wrapped in
special char to identify it, the same way Dates need are Formatted as
#dd/mm/yyy# but I tried '#TRUE#' and got an error.
Thanks for the reply though.

Try removing the ' ' marks.
In Boolean fields, some applications do not need them

RE: Boolean fields in Foxpro
Hi All,
I'm having a simple problem I'm sure someone has come up against before.
I developed a CF system with an Access backend.
This was then ported to Foxpro.
Nearly everything worked fine but I'm having a problem setting Boolean
fields.
When I try the following -
INSERT INTO (Tablename.BooleanField)
VALUES ('0')
- I get a ODBC Data mismatch error.
I've tried the following in values and still got errors
VALUES(0)
VALUES('TRUE')
VALUES (TRUE)
The original query works fine when I run it against the Foxpro tables linked
into Access.
I presume that JET is doing some sort of Access -> ODBC conversion for me.
Anyone out using Foxpro able to help?
Regards
Michael O'Reilly
