David, I hear you. I am being a bit stubborn just because it should be working, it isn’t, and I want it to. This is being deployed on windows and it is working just fine there. So no need to buy anything, but it’s annoying that it does not work on the Mac. I think I am going to call TS and

John, This all sounds very familiar & is why I went with Rob's viewer plug-in. http://www.pluggers.nl/product/pdf-viewer/ This plug-in isn't crazy expensive like some of the PDF generating tools. (I think Rob faces high licensing costs of his own on those.)

while Acrobat Reader was relevant on macOS, it planted itself as the default PDF-viewer inside a WebBrowser. That didn't work well with 4D webarea. As far as I remember at a place like this /Users/~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/acrobatreader.plugin Removing the plugin allowed 4D to display PDFs in

Re: QUERY into variable vs. Records in Table

Jeffrey, I did not quite get your question. Records in Table does not relate to QUERY in any way, because you are comparing a sort of static number, total records in a table, to the result of a dynamic operation. Did you mean compare: Set Query Destination(into variable;$nrecs)

RE: QUERY into variable vs. Records in Table

I am not sure why you would be comparing QUERY into variable vs. Records in Table - did you really mean Records in Selection, not Table? QUERY into variable would require a query which would probably be slower (due to a query). Records in Table ignores any selection and just returns the number

Hi All, I am in the midst of converting 4D Windows-based application from v11 to v15 and encountered a strange issue. When editing a method under v15, all the text are jumbled up. I tested with creating a new method, not just methods carried over from the past and the effect is the same. For

QUERY into variable vs. Records in Table

Does anyone know the relative performance impact on a server of calling a QUERY wrapped inside a SET QUERY DESTINATION (Into Variable...), compared to calling Records In Table? If you had to do one a hundred times a minute or more, which would you choose? I'm guessing the server can get the

Is a package preferred?

Re: QUERY into variable vs. Records in Table

I was thinking that I could just create a semaphore instead of creating a record. The code that would otherwise be querying would just be calling Test Semaphore... but a method to clear that semaphore would be tricky since only the process that creates it can kill it. And I kind of wonder if

Re: QUERY into variable vs. Records in Table

I'd have thought Records in Table would be quicker ... I'm sure 4D already "knows" how many records there are in each table, so it can just answer that question immediately rather than having to query and count the result ... Pat On 19 October 2017 at 17:28, Dennis, Neil via 4D_Tech

We've been using the new Get Database Measures command to take a look at what our application is actually doing, and plotting some of these metrics to our dashboard... for example, most frequently run queries. This particular query popped to the top, executing a few hundred times per minute.
