Hi,

I need a small lesson in using database:

1. I created a db (using SQLite3) with several fields. One of them is a boolean field. It is corresponding to a checkbox button in the card of my stack. Only one record of the database is displayed on the card.

2. I built a query that selects some of the records of my db and sorts them by some fields.

3. With a forward and backward button >revdb_movenext(recordSetID)< and >revdb_moveprev(recordSetID)< I navigate through the records of the recordSet.

4. With a script >set the hilite of btn "checkbox" to revdb_columnbynumber(recordSetID,5)< I display the database fields of the actual record in the fields of my card.

5. Then I wrote a script for the checkbox button >revdb_execute (recordSetID,tSQL)< with tSQL like: >UPDATE my_db SET checkbox = "true" .... < and so on. I tested it with the SQLite Database Browser: the changes have been saved.

6. When I use my forward and backward button, to switch to the next record and then back to the changed record I do not see the change in my field or in my special case, the checkbox is not hilited.

7. When I close the current cursor (recordSet) and make a new query the checkbox is hilited.

I learned that the UPDATE-script changes the database but it do not change the cursor (recordSet). But the forward/backward button do not display the content of the database but the content of the current cursor (recordSet).

- How can I get the content of the database?
- Do I have to make a new query after every change of fields?
- Or is it better to use the revdb_query funktion only to get a sorted list of primary keys of the wanted records and to use the revdb_querylist funktion to display the content of the db fields on the card?

I am rather confused.

Reinhold
