Re: UUID version 4 needed

Is the version number being decoded correctly? According to Wikipedia, there are several variants of encoding UUIDs: 1) Little-endian 2) Big-endian 3) Mixed-endian To decode the UUID version number, you need to know what encoding variant was used: Little-endian, Big-endian or Mixed-endian.

Re: Any way to determine how a field's data storage is set?

Hi John, In the exported XML structure, I believe there are 2-attributes whose presence/absence indicate where the field’s data will be stored: 1) in the record. 2) in the data file but outside of the record. 3) in an external file outside of the data file. The 2-XML attributes are: 1)

Relative SET EXTERNAL DATA PATH on external disk

If my development database is sitting on an external disk, GET EXTERNAL DATA, previously saved using the full path, returns… "T75-TRANS01:OrthoPro_v16 R6:Patient_Image_Library:_09719:Initial:_09719_Initial_3.jpg” Note that T75-TRANS01 is the name of the external drive and "OrthoPro_v16

Re: UUID version 4 needed

If you look at the MSDN site, there are a a couple of different ways to generate a UUID. I'm pretty sure it's not a bug in Windows but rather 4D calling a different function... :) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/rpcdce/nf-rpcdce-uuidcreatesequential

Re: Cannot delete if related many issue

Arnaud, a couple of other thoughts - are any/all of the related tables very large in record count size? this might be a cache thing... maybe 4D is 'thrashing' loading indexes etc, then having to throw them away for the next table(s) and then loading them again. -- you might be able to

Any way to determine how a field's data storage is set?

I cannot find a way to do this programmatically. I am referring to Outside the data file/In data file/in record. Get external data path either returns a path or an empty string. The empty string provides a hint in the it is “probably not set to Outside the data file, but is inconclusive and

Re: Cannot delete if related many issue

Arnaud, I don't use deletion control either... however, maybe there is a circular relation* and 4D iterates through this relational circle either a fixed (large) number of times, or after some (large) number of iterations through the circle 4D finally finds that there are no related children

RE: UUID version 4 needed

my only thought would be that 4D has either a bug in the windows version of UUID generator, or it uses/expects some underlying mechanism at the OS level which is broken. > Hi Chip, Keith, > > Thanks Chip for the tip! > But still, isn't it strange that 4D v16 does generate UUID where on >

Re: [ANN] Q2Pix 1.0b2 available

Danis, How backward compatible will an existing deployed QPix installation be with Q2Pix? I am upgrading my QPix using client to R6 this weekend in anticipation of a follow on 64bit upgrade which will require upgrading to Q2Pix. How soon do you expect to be out of beta? Do you think

Re: UUID version 4 needed

Strange in light of what Miyako wrote that 4D just calls through to the OS. I guarantee you that the Win32API plug-in call is an unmodified OS call - maybe that’s your workaround for now? I tested on v17 final candidate Windows 64-bit and saw the same as the others - no ‘4’ in that position.

Re: Cannot delete if related many issue

Arnaud de Montard: Since 4D v2.0.10 I have not used it (probably not in 4D way back then). When we used to permit actual deletions but we handled all record deletions in our code especially for related records that also needed to go. Now we do not permit actual deletions - we just flag records

RE: UUID version 4 needed

Hi Chip, Keith, Thanks Chip for the tip! But still, isn't it strange that 4D v16 does generate UUID where on WIndows the 15th hex digit is a 4 Thanks Keith for testing this on OSX, but unfortunately I need this on both platforms. Is there anybody that can confirm that on WIndows 4D generates
