Hi,

Yes, I am running on Mac for the moment, the app will eventually be deployed on Mac and Windows.


Haven't had much luck in getting this to work. I downloaded and installed MySQL. I then downloaded libDatabase and sample stack called libdb_recipes. When I run up the "recipes.rev" stack, I get an error:

"libdberr: unable to connect to database (Unknown database 'recipes')".

I can't seem to find any documentation of what is supposed to happen or if I am supposed to change anything. I looked in the registerDatabase handler in the stack script and this seems to be setup ok for MySQL.

Right now I'm not sure if I have the right MySQL package installed, I got my copy from:

http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-4.0/mysql-standard-4.0.26- apple-darwin7.9.0-powerpc.dmg/from/pick

and it seemed to install just fine.

I have the following files in a folder and am running from this folder:

libDatabase.rev
recipes.rev
recipes.sql

I have stepped thru recipes.rev and it loads and calls libDatabase.rev ok. Do I need to change anything to get this to work?

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave

What platform? On OSX I was in a similar position recently, and I settled for MySQL (downloadable) with Blue Mango's (Trevor DeVore's) libDatabase 2.0 (ditto). This way's free. The libDatabase isn't strictly necessary (it's a wrapper around revdb functions), but it makes things a *lot* simpler and more rational.

Hi All,

I have worked on Rev for a while but have not used it with a database application before and was wondering the easiest and cheapest way to get going with it. I have the following basic questions:

What do I need to Add to RunRev to be able to:
  a)  Create and Add data to a database locally.
  b)  Retrieve records based on the contents of a number for fields.
  c)  Modify existing records in the database.

The database will contain around 100,000 to 300,000 records.

Thanks a lot for any help
All the Best
Dave
