[lazarus] 'Find in Files enhancements
Hi, I am thinking of enhancing the Find in File search and add a new option under Include sub directories in the lines of Ignore hidden directories. The reason for this is, I often search the Lazarus and FPC directories for certain text inside a file, and then it starts searching inside the .svn folder as well (which make the search much slower). The only thing I am not sure how te handle, is on the Windows platform. Do we treat dot directories on Windows as hidden, or should we query the directory attributes? Can you actually create a directory on Windows with a dot in the front?

What about applications? Do I need to specify the -dUseCThreads

If you create your own threads and you don't put the unit that creates
the threads in a package, then you should add the CTHreads unit yourself
on *nix. If you used this template you can do this by adding
-dUseCThreads to the custom compiler options.

[lazarus] another newbie ? on DB
Hi, Thanks all for the recent help. I am now able to retreive data without any trouble (so far). And using a dataset allows the data aware controls to display data but I can't save the edit fields (even if I tab off the control). Everything I've read suggest that I need to set the 'datasource1.edit:=True' and the 'readonly' property to false for controls - to allow editing and saving (Update table). But when I attempt to save a record I get no error message but I also have no record changes. My postgres log has a rollback as the last statement. But I also don't see an update statement. So I guess I'm missing a step (of course I could be missing the entire concept).

[lazarus] [patch] doceditor
Hi, I attached a patch for the doceditor. It must be applied from the /Lazarus directory. Changes: 1) Fixed the Close button's Anchor properties in the About Form. When you resized the form, the button resized as well. 2) Resized the about form, so that the text regarding the copyright fits into the window without clipping. 3) Changed the Project Options of the lazde.lpi so that session information is stored in the .lps file and not the .lpi file. 4) Added a Custom Compile option -FUunits, which places all compiled units (.ppu, .o, etc) file into a units directory, instead of in the same directory as the source. Note a units directory needs to be added to the /doceditor directory. I couldn't get svn to generate a patch for that!

Re: [lazarus] SQL Statement

you've got. It should be: 'Cannot open a non-select statement'

open a non-select statement', everyone here with some sql-knowledge
would have known the answer. Then no other information was even needed,
and we didn't have to dig into your code, looking at the quotes,
wondering what they are and such.

* oh, that's too bad, I hope you get it fixed.
* and this has exactly what to do with me?

Next time, describe accurately what happens. Cause now I still don't
know if it's a bug or not. Can you tell me if the program gave the error
i told about above? If not, it's a bug. If it does, I need to clarify
the error-message a bit.

These quotes are necessary maybe because of field names form, dash
character is used separating parts of names making these more readable.
I tried it without quotes and had dificulties. This way works fine, I
have Select statements executed normally but not this Update which I
think is in a general accepted form.

This can be done using the primary key, or bu using all fields in the where part of the update statement.

There are also no known speed issues on the DB side when working with this type - I asked postgres people for that since in many DB there is a speed issue when using that kind of fields. You are right, I confused PostgreSQL with another DBMS. But the limit for a string in sqldb is really there. I've changed PQConnection so that a text field is also interpreted as a varchar. But I don't agree that you can use this or a varchar like a BLOB-field. It's true that they are unlimited, (up to 1 GB) but the problem is that they are handled like a normal field. Thus if you do a request for a record, the field is send in that request. Normally, a BLOB-field is not send with the record, but only if you specially ask for the data in the blob. SQLDB always buffers all the records. Thus if you have a unlimited varchar, sqldb will allocate approximate 2000 (the max) bytes for this field for every record. Keep that in mind while you're designing your database. So I can not use a varchar c(8000). If the limit is 2000 bytes then I can only have 1000 chars. Is that correct?

BTW have no experience using any recent Delphi. All that I'm learning is through the school of hard knocks (reading articles from google). But when I get this working I will post to the wiki. The transaction is committed by the command transaction.commit For an example, see the fpc-code: fcl/db/sqldb/examples/fedittable.pp Now I'm getting somewhere. I getting an error about 'FWR' is not a column. The string is the primary key data (pkid = custno data in custno = 'FWR'). So how do I set the primary key. Or rather where do I set it. I think I read somewhere that I need to set a primary key. BTW the file was very helpful. to recap (for other newbie's): use sqlquery to retreive the data use dataset to post use sqlquery to applyupdates use SQLTranaction to commit the data.

Re: [lazarus] analog meter component wanted

Might not be what you are looking for since it is part of KOL and you'd have to just get ideas from the code, KOL does work with FPC but of course is not related to lazarus so much. At least I'll read the sources attentively... I still don't know if I have enough time and motivation for writing such a component myself (in relation to the benefit of using it).

Normally, a simple Post should be enough. 2. You should commit the transaction when you're completely done. What I also miss is Dataset.Applyupdates And offcourse transaction.commit I don't understand the purpose of the datasource.dataset. I have been reading the examples files from FPC. In the files they do not use the datasource.dataset anywhere. Does this mean that I'm not suppose to use the datasets? Are the datasets something from Lazarus? The only information I have has to do with stuff I have read from the web (mostly delphi stuff) and what little information is available from the wiki. Could someone explain? How does the sqlquery1 know about the changes? I thought the dataset understood the changes?

Re: [lazarus] Changing SynEdit
Unless you have in depth knowledge about how every bit of ansistring memory management works, using getmem and freemem and pchars are simpler, no? Because you are not battling the automatic memory management. Now, if you are an expert in battling the automatic memory management maybe you can battle ansistrings enough to be almost or just as fast as pchars. Is this what we are doing in the fpc sources? I will have to look, and see. Yes. For example: The codetools use ansistrings. Less than 1% use PChars. Just avoid the + operator as you would avoid ReAllocMem and StrCopy. However, string[i] isn't so convenient as the '+' operator because you have to think about all your calculations quite a bit. Really string[i] is smart pchars. Stringbuffer type would allow you to use the + operator and eat your cake too, because every time you use the + operator the getmem() is not called. Further benefits of StringBuffer type will have to be explored - at this point it does'nt have enough benefits to be justified since you can just get along with string[i]. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
