Does revdb library require some initialization when in a standalone? My applciation is executing witout error in the RAD but throws a exeception when attempting to open a database in a standalone.
How did you build your standalone? Is it one executable file or did you use the splash screen method where you have an executable that opens your program stack? If the former than make sure that you include the database support libraries when you build the executable. If the latter then you need to start using the stack that you built the executable with in your program stack since the externals functions are assigned to and available only within the splash screen stack.
Here is an example-
You have two stacks. Stack 1 is splash.rev which is used to build the executable. Stack 2 is program.rev which is your main program stack which has all of the database calls. When you build splash.rev as an executable Revolution will assign the externals it needs to connect and talk to the database to the splash.rev stack. Any calls to a database will work if called from splash.rev. When you executable calls something like
go to stack "program.rev"
and you try to make calls to the revdb_* in program.rev these calls will fail since the external functions/commands are not in the message path for this stack. To fix this you can do the following in program.rev -
start using stack "splash.rev"
which will make all of the external functions/commands available to splash.rev available to your program.rev stack as well. This should fix the problem.
