Hi!
I'm trying to modify a dbf adding a new field in a python script, but I
can't.
Just I can add a field in new dbf created in the same script.
I tryed with:
db = dbf.Dbf("../filesource.dbf",new =False, readOnly=False)
...
db.addField(("PESO","N",32,8))
and return error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "script.py", line 34, in <module>
db.addField(("PESO","N",32,8))
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbfpy/dbf.py", line 229, in
addField
"structure can't be changed")
TypeError: ('At least one record was added, ', "structure can't be
changed")
I have not idea of what error I make.
If someone can help me, I'll so gratefull.
Thanks!
I am not familiar with dbfpy, but the dbf files I am familiar with do
not support 32 digit Numerics. Did you mean 12?
At any rate, if you use http://groups.google.com/group/python-dbase
the commands would be:
import dbf
db = dbf.Table("../filesource.dbf")
db.add_fields("peso N(12.8)")
db.close()
and you'll have your field -- assuming, of course, you have write
priveleges, etc.
Hope this helps!
