Yeah thanks Alan - I am currently using something similar..
extract(day from COLLECT_DELIVER_DATE)||'/'||extract(month from
COLLECT_DELIVER_DATE)||'/'||extract(year from COLLECT_DELIVER_DATE) as
COLLECT_DELIVER_DATE
Just a bit "wordy" / "verbose" and a bit shocked that you have to go to
Thanks very much Helen, a lot for me to digest here .
Kind Regards,,
Dave.
Fantastic! Works a treat! Wow, wonder how many other people are going to be
tripped up by this ! ?
Thanks a lot Mark (and all those who responded)
Woops! Spoke to soon, changing the setting in the PHP.ini did not change
anything. Never mind, at least I know where to look . I will ask in some php
forum,
Thanks anyway..
Cheers
ok thanks Lester, I will head over there and see whats happening. I like
firebird a lot and have used it for years so Im kind of invested in it. In
hindsight, perhaps - perhaps I should have gone with MySql (seems like everyone
else has :))
You are right about it not getting much love,
Yes but in the scenario you describe - all computers are on the same network. I
need to be able to connect to a remote server. I have mobile devices that need
to communicate with the database (over a mobile network.) So unfortunately, I
dont think I could manage with the embedded approach,
Because I need a true client /server arrangement - from what I can see the
embedded solution is really only for peer to peer connections on a local
system. You cannot connect remotely or share data on a central server (there
are also security restrictions from what I can see,)
