Re: Access Plugins
Don't know if this might be useful (calling it from Rev): http://sourceforge.net/projects/plane-disaster/ Can create new files, you can then zip them up with Rev. From the description: 'PlaneDisaster.NET is a .NET Database front end for JetSQL (Microsoft Access File Format) and sqLite. In addition to basic database browsing and querying, it can create new JetSQL and SQLite files as well as compact and repair JetSQL databases.' It's Windows only. Cheers, Luis.

Re: Access Plugins
try communicating with Access driver through js or vbs script. In both js
and vbs there is a way to build a dsn-less connections to nearly any type of
relational database. A while ago I worked with this from within hta apps,
but now went multiplatform with Rev and start forgetting those things... For
example this jscript function creates and uses dsn-less connection to
execute SQL commands:
function dbAccess(sql)
{
var dbrcd, cString, sql;
// Creating ADO Recordset
dbrcd = new ActiveXObject( "ADODB.Recordset" );
//Creating the connection string
cString = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=Tables.mdb";
// Create SQL Statement
//sql = "SELECT * from table1";
// Open connection to database
dbrcd.Open( sql, cString, 1, 3);
while( !dbrcd.EOF )
{
// Loop through each field in this record
// and add contents to variable
for( i = 0; i < dbrcd.Fields.Count; i++ )
{ record+= dbrcd(i) + " ";}
//Move to the next record and loop
dbrcd.MoveNext();
record+="\n";
}
return (record);
}
Although I have never tried creating new database or defining schema with
this, but maybe it can be useful in this regard too... Rev studio has open
driver close driver handlers, although I have never tried to communicate
with Access driver directly from within Rev, could this work ?..
Best regards

Re: Access Plugins
I'd love to be able to do this one in RR, because there will be a significant amount of parsing, and chunk expressions are SO perfect for that. One possibility is to generate a DLL (if this is on Windows) that has the Jet Engine interface built into it. I'm not knowledgeable about building plugins for Rev, but Delphi, C++ Builder and Visual C++ can all do this (with the right custom libraries and they aren't dear). Then call the dll as a plug-in I guess...

Does it *have* to be Access, or can you generate some intermediate file (CSV, for example) that could then be imported into Access? That's the way I would go here if I could get a buyin. mdb files are a proprietary format, and there's precious little software around that will muck with them outside of an Access system. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Access Plugins
It would be nice if there was a way to convert access databases to SQLite.

Re: Access Plugins
Hi Mikey, You can always connect to Access databases via ODBC - setup a DSN and open a connection to it. If you need to create new .mdb files, it's a little trickier as you'd have to create an empty .mdb file, duplicate that, create a DSN on the fly and then manipulate it from Revolution.
