Thanks Pete, I just found an example that indicated that I don't need to use the base64encoding. Is this true? "*b"
put "INSERT into ContactData (" & \ "myKey," & \ "RecordType," & \ "RecID," & \ "Name," & \ "GroupNbr," & \ "LastContact," & \ "DaysTill," & \ "DataArray) " & \ "Values (:1,:2,:3,:4,:5,:6,:7,:8 )" into tUpSQL put the pNetDB of stack "MyNetwork" into sNetConnID put empty into x put 0 into tRT revExecuteSQL sNetConnID, tUpSQL, "x","tRT","x","x","x","x","x","*btSettings" If I understand you correctly you are recommending that I make sure that x = Space or something else other than empty. Correct? I need to go lookup the details of the default key word. If I use it would the above syntax be simplified to: put "INSERT into ContactData (" & \ "RecordType," & \ "DataArray) " & \ "Values (:1,:2 )" into tUpSQL put the pNetDB of stack "MyNetwork" into sNetConnID put empty into x put 0 into tRT revExecuteSQL sNetConnID, tUpSQL,"tRT","*btSettings" Can I use this substitution trick with any SQL statement, specifically the updating? I am working on an app for IOS and I am worried about memory consumption. Ideally I would have liked to just use arrays and been done with it, but memory concerns have me trying to learn SQL and rev's implementation. This is why I am shying away from helper tools. My thinking is that these tools must be pretty sophisticated, and that translates into memory usage. For a PC app, i would use them for sure. -= Mike _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
