Database Query Builder
Thanks, Jan. I'm looking into the possibility of redesigning an accounts-receivable program that currently is written entirely in Revolution. I have it designed to allow a limited form of multi-user access, but it's cumbersome, and a switch to a SQL database would leverage that arrangement's natural advantages.

GLX2 new feature when working with SQLite databases and database query builder
I just changed the subject I just updated to GLX 2.1b40 and it did something (automatically) that I realize now is very cool but which caused me some consternation. It made a GLX2 Work Spaces folder in the My Revolution Studio folder and put an empty copy of my SQLite database there. This caused all kinds of problems since it was an empty copy (maybe it should have notified me with an error message). I had to figure this out and move the database from the location where it had been before (and a not very good location but the only place I could get it to work in the past -- inside the application folder for RunRev). Now all my calls using RunRev's built in Database query manager work fine but none of my manual calls which require registering SQLite with a file path that I have been using but not really liking like so: put /Applications/Revolution_Studio/2.8.1-gm-3/shipping.sqlite into tDBA[FilePath] I'd much rather the file path to SQLite was automatic to a nice folder like GLX2 just did for me. So I'm writing this to warn other users of GLX2 about this new feature and I'm hoping someone that knows this stuff will tell me a better way to say put /Users/administrator/Documents/My\ Revolution\ Studio/Plugins/GLX2\ Work\ Spaces/shipping.sqlite into tDBA[FilePath] for the SQLite stuff I'm doing without using RunRev's built in Database Query Builder. Ideally there would just be a call to whatever GLX2 figured out. Thanks and I think GLX2 is great and if I had more time to spend programming and less time urgently needing to use the program I wrote (badly and unfinished) I'm sure I would like it even more. and thanks as always for helping -- Bill PS - and I wish I could go to the RunRev conference and sit in on Trevor's class! ___ 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

It made a GLX2 Work Spaces folder in the My Revolution Studio folder and put an empty copy of my SQLite database there. GLX2 creates that folder, but there is no reason for it to move your database. I expect what happened was that the defaultFolder was changed to this workspaces folder and your database was saved assuming the defaultFolder was the same as before. Looking at the oath your were using before, it appears that you were always using the default folder as the database was being saved in your Revolution application folder. How about when creating and using your database, you specify the path yourself, and put it somewhere more logical e.g. Documents folder, Preferences folder, Application Support folder (I don't know what the database is for, so you will have to decide the location yourself). Try something like this: put specialFolderPath(Documents) /shipping.sqlite into tDBA[FilePath] Or if you want to use the defaultFolder: set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath(Documents) If you use the defaultFolder method, you need to make sure it is set each time, as any other stack or plugin might have changed it.

Problem building stand alone database application using database query builder
Greetings, Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this problem? Context In the past building database apps I have coded everything, meaning, scripted the database connection, the queries to add, modify, delete, search, etc. They work. Problem This time I'm trying to build a simple app following the example in the database tutorial using the query builder, then selecting the actions from the pull down list and connecting them to buttons. As long as I am running this application in the IDE, it works fine. When I save it as a stand alone exe under Windows, it doesn't work any more (meaning, nothing happens when I press the buttons, it isn't connected to the database). I have made sure that all database stuff is included in the standalone set up. I do receive some error messages but I think they are irrelevant since I am not on a Mac 1MacOS, database driver folder not found: C:/Program Files/Revolution Enterprise/2.7.4-gm-1/Runtime/Mac OS X/Universal/Externals/Database Drivers/dboracle.bundle 2MacOS, database driver folder not found: C:/Program Files/Revolution Enterprise/2.7.4-gm-1/Runtime/Mac OS X/Universal/Externals/Database Drivers/VXCMD_macho.bundle Solution???

This script connects my stack to my database: put revdb_connect(sqlite3,TestDB.db,[EMAIL PROTECTED] online.de,...xyz...) into tConID Therefore I filled out in that way: Name: Fragen Type: altSQLite3 Host: /Users/rvs/Documents/5-Fächer-Lernprogramm/5FLK-Rev SLQ Port: Database: TestDB User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: ...xyz... When I try to connect I get this error message: There was an error in connecting to the database. Please check that the connection fields are correct. Revdb error: revdberr, invalid database type Where is the mistake? I got this message before I updated altSQLite3 to the Universal Binary Version (for IntelMac) May it be that the QueryBuilder do not work with the UB Version?

Re: How to fill out Database Query Builder fields
Reinhold, The equivalent querybuilder parameters for your given connect string would be: Name: Fragen Type: altSQLite3 Host: TestDB.db Port:Database: TestDB.db User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: ...xyz... I haven't seen any problems running querybuilder on the UB version. Does everything work correctly if you script the database commands with revdb? -- cb On 12/2/06, Reinhold Venzl-Schubert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

AltSQLite and Database Query Builder
I am currently using altSQLite3 and trying to see if I can use the Database Query Builder to hook it into. I have a few questions. 1. Once the database has been created, is it best placed in the same folder as the Applications Mainstack? Or in the folder with the Revolution Application? 2. In Database Query Builder, I have the following questions: A)Host: In the tutorial, the writer puts in RunRev. Does this mean that the Host is the Revolution Studio Application? But should I put in localhost? Or name it anything that I want? Or Use the Filepath to the Database file? (not the Application) B) Database Is this only the name of the Database? e.g.. TestDatabase OR should it include the entire FilePath A:\\HardDriveName\Applications\Revolution Studio\Work\TestDatabase Or should it ALWAYS have the extension? e.g. TestDatabase.sqlite Should the extension be .sqlite OR dbsqlite OR altsqlite3 C)User If it is on my local machine, then do I have to put in a User Name? Or is there a default if I am NOT on an external server? Or can I leave it blank to connect? D) Password: If it is on my local machine, then do I have to put in a Passwoord? Or is there a default if I am NOT on an external server? Or can I leave it blank to connect? I also learned from Chris at altuit that in the Altuit tutorial's CONNECTION BUTTON SCRIPT, the revdb_connect command...requires the commas. E.g. AppReg.db, According to Chris, You need the commas. They are extra parameters that revdb uses when connecting to other database(Mysql,Postgres, Oracle and the like)..In altSqlite we don't need them, but they still need to be passed to the function call as empty. A lot of people might already know that but not a Newbie like myself.

1. Once the database has been created, is it best placed in the same

I've always found that the database has to be the same folder as the
application (which for recent versions is inside the folder with the version
number and gm.
2. In Database Query Builder, I have the following questions:
A)Host:
In the tutorial, the writer puts in RunRev.

But should I put in localhost?

For both host and database put the name of the database.
B) Database
Is this only the name of the Database? e.g.. TestDatabase
OR should it include the entire FilePath
A:\\HardDriveName\Applications\Revolution Studio\Work\TestDatabase
Or should it ALWAYS have the extension? e.g. TestDatabase.sqlite
Should the extension be .sqlite OR dbsqlite OR altsqlite3
I use the extension .db and the extension .sqlite
C)User
If it is on my local machine, then do I have to put in a User Name?
Or is there a default if I am NOT on an external server?
Or can I leave it blank to connect?
D) Password:
If it is on my local machine, then do I have to put in a Passwoord?
Or is there a default if I am NOT on an external server?
Or can I leave it blank to connect?
For sqlite3 you have to put your email and the special password altuit gives
you or it will not work
I also learned from Chris at altuit that in the Altuit tutorial's CONNECTION
BUTTON SCRIPT, the revdb_connect command...requires the commas.
E.g.
AppReg.db,

How to fill in the Database Query Builder?
Hi! My trial to build a Database Query to an altSQLite-Database fails, but Revolution stores it somewhere. Because when I save my stack and open it again, I got the same error message and the Database Query Builder shows me the failed Query. Therefore I looked for the place where Revolution stores the failed query. I expected to find a script anywhere and wanted to look at it to find a mistake. But I did not find neither a script nor anything else. I used Analyse it... of 2lz2 from Klaus Major for my search. Where is a Database Query stored in the stack? Reinhold Hi!

Database Query Builder
Hi folks, I'm using altSQLLite for the database. One thing I can't seem to get right is the path to the table (it's in the same path as the executable). The Database Query Builder only takes a fixed path for the location of the database. i.e. C:\MyFolder\MyApp\mytable.db Is there a way to overcome this? I've read the doc's - for both the Database Query Builder and altSQL and I seem to be missing something. Note - I've posted this here and not as a direct support request to Altuit because it seems to be more a Rev issue than an alSQL issue - but of course I could be wrong - that's happened before. g Scott ___ 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: Database Query Builder
I use the database query builder a lot but have been gradually shifting over
to libDatabase is a database abstraction library by Trevor DeVore which is
much better than the database query builder for everything except easily
building a card that goes through each record of a database. I highly
recommend it especially when working with sqlite. As an example, if you look
for a record using the database query builder and it is a record that does
not exist then not only will it bring your stack down sometimes you have to
reboot the system too. Also if you ever have a database query builder
connection to the database in one of your cards or substacks and it stops
working it is impossible to track it down (so you will always -- thereafter
-- get an error message can't connect to the database even though all the
queries that you still use are connected).
I put the sqlite database (on mac os x) in the same folder as my runtime
revolution application as that was the only place it would work (the stack
itself can be anywhere). So I don't have any path in the field that says
Database just the name of the database.

Re: Database Query Builder
That's a good question. It would be nice if the query builder didn't crash
when you search for a record that isn't there. But in order to search for a
record with the query builder you have to use revsetSQLofQuery and I
believe that isn't a supported command (maybe because it isn't finished) but
it is a very necessary one if you want to do functional stuff with the query
builder.
It's much better to use the libDatabase for most things.

--- Bill Humphrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In case anyone else wants to use this great thing extensively then when designing your databases always use unique names for every column even when in different tables because if you refer to a column as tablename1.shipID and another one as tablename2.shipID even though SQL is happy with this the database query builder update feature will choke. [Sorry for the late reply, jsut cleaning the backlog] You're touching on one of the main drawbacks of SQL databases: their relational syntax makes it easy to combine data from multiple tables in a meaningful way -- but what if you want to update the data ? In the above example, the shipID field might be the primary key for both tables, and there might be a one-to-one relationship between them. But it is far more likely that it is the primary key for tablename1, but only part of the primary key for tablename2 -- or it could be just a foreign key. This means that while the revDatabse frontscirpt can farily easily update the database when you're displaying data from one table and telling it the primary key of that table ; but updating combined data from multiple tables is a different game entirely ! You would have to provide the primary key for each table involved in the query and may therefore have to add fields in order to have the key columns. Note that this is also the main reason why it is near impossible to provide a 'Create record' functionality in that frontscript: if there's more than one table involved, where should it create new records? In all tables? In some of them? In only one of them? Database solutions like FileMaker Pro have ready access to the full database schema, including the relations between the tables, and may use some heuristics to figure out what it needs to create. But it is very tricky to get this right without inner knowledge of the database structure. Which is why I usually tell people to do the SQL-stuff themselves, and employ the database-linked controls mainly for viewing data and minor editing. You can easily piggy-back on the existing query conection data by using the other calls in the revDatabase frontscript like : -- revExecuteWithQuery query name,sql query -- Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel.

Database Query Builder 2
Jan was kind enough to point me to the check box 'Cache record set' as a means of getting the DQB to upload changes made to a field when the 'Update Field after editing' option is checked in the Database section of the inspector. I had thought Cache'ing the record set meant it would NOT be rechecking the mySQL database for changes but instead it appears to mean something like 'Keep the local cache up to date!' This really needs to go into the documentation, and the little video primers, because it is too elusive for a newbie. So now I can make changes but I still have one major hickup.

Re: DataBase Query Builder

Changes to a field, which do update the database, are not visible when you come back to that record. Is there a simple way to get around this? Thank you. One of the problems is that when a script updates the data in the back-end database, the corresponding data in the revdb cursor is not updated. You can work around this by ticking the 'Cache record set' checkbox in the database query builder. However, it is not completely Model-View-Controller yet, as placing the same database column on two different fields on the same card will not update the other field. Btw, if you want to refresh a single query (thsu reconnecting to the database and fetching all the column values again), you can use the command 'revRefreshQuery name of the query' Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel.

Re: DataBase Query Builder
I have a little button that says refresh which I have to push. I never did
automate it because it takes so long.

Database Query Builder, commit changes
Hello, all I need to make some simple changes to a Valentina DB, the Query builder is a great tool and I have everything set to open the tables and edit the fields. The problem comes when I am saving the changes back. If I use the auto edit feature of the Query Builder I get no erros but the changed data is not committed, on refresh the original field contents show. I tried a button with revCommitDatabase currentDB and I get cant find handler error.

Re: Database query builder not really a bug just not finished
Thank you for you very usefull reply Bill I have cocoaMySQL here but it keeps quiting, so I use my phpmyAdmin from my web host control pannel, it's all integrated so no fuss here. Also, we used to have a nice show all records on that database part of the inspector, I used that to create listboxes like: SQL: select name from records. On the inspector I would choose a field and use the show all on the database part of the inspector, that worked fine! where did that option go? that what I was talking about, not that it showed only one record, I reviewed my old code and that the way I used to do. I would create a listbox, fill it with names from the show all option, then on the double click of the listbox I would acquire the desired name, change the SQL query to reflect that choice, query the server, and move to a nice record editing card. It worked fine, but now with the show all missing, I think I'll have to code it by hand (and not by mouse as I wanted). cheers andre On Jul 21, 2004, at 3:42 PM, Bill wrote: On 7/21/04 1:38 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: is anyone here using Database Query Builder on Rev 2.2.1?

BUG: Database Query Builder Feature Missing on 2.2.1...
Hi Folks, If you look into the documentation on Databases on the rev docs under About connecting to and using SQL Databases you'll see an article about Database Query Builder, under the topic Displaying automatic query data you'll that there's a specific part detailing how to use Show All to display all data from a query. That feature (Show All) is missing here. I just made an empty mainstack, created a query to my mySQL server, launched the inspector and the option is not there. Can someone explain me what happened? Can someone here tell me if this feature was removed? That was one of the most usefull Database Query Builder feature for is allowed us to create listboxes without coding them. Ie: We could retrieve all names from a DB, pipe tem to a listbox and make a nice select your name widget. Without this, we must code by hand, deal with cursors, open the db and closing it... it would spoil the Rev DB experience and it's ease of use.

Is there a func for changing Database Query Builder connection parameters at runtime?
Hi revFolks, I am making an app (Called DataJunior, nice app, http://www.soapdog.org/blog for info) which uses a mix of DB handlers and Database Query Builder stuff... This application is a mix of substacks, each substack is like an self-contained application dealing with a very specific problem, like for example there's an addressbook like app, there's a team management app... When the substack needed more complex database resources, I wrote my own functions but when it was a simple query I used Database Query Builder (It's a cool thing!). It was like dream coding, adding complexity only when needed, but I didn't foresaw one problem. The bootstrap problem, like setting it up for the first run on another computer that is not mine. For my hand coded funcs, I made a substack called DBConf which is responsible for loading itself on launch time, checking for Database connection parameters, if they are not present (first run) asking for them, saving it, opening the connection. So far so good, I've got a reusable substack that will take care of opening and closing connections to database and will put all the usefull info in a nice global. The problem is, How do I take this parameters (host, username, pass...) to Database Query Builder. See, I can garantee that my funcs will work, but Automatic Queries are strange entities sometimes. Here, everything points to home.soapdog.org, but this will be deployed to an enterprize and hell knows where they will install MySQL, I would not like to build a new version everytime they feel like changing their ips or their servernames There must be an undocummented nice way like revHeyChangeAutoQueriesParametersToWhereverMyServerIs or something near this.. :-D So... anyone here can point me to some frontscript or info? Also, I am thinking about posting in the web a developer journal on this app and making the code available, would people here find this usefull?

Database Query Builder
Question... When using the Database Query Builder, you have to enter the address of the database. But is there a way to create a preference-file which is loaded during startup, because I¹m creating a mySQL-front-end which uses different databases (development db on server 1 and live db on server 2). Now I created my SQL-statements myself, so I check a preference-file at startup, which I manually can edit, or edit in my preference-tab in the program, but I would like to use the Database Query Builder and still be able to change and save these settings. Anyone any advice, because I can¹t seem to find where the Database Query Builder gets and stores its data.

Re: Database Query Builder: workaround please
On Thursday 13 November 2003 3:47 pm, you wrote: On the Database Query Builder, Record Set Tab, SQL query field: 1) enter some syntactically bad SQL 2) click the refresh query button (or close the Database Query Builder window) 3) now Rev gets stuck in an endless loop of modal error dialogs. OK The handlers appear to be identical, though I have not stepped through as yet. However it is clear that on Linux and 2.0.1, the behaviour is not so extreme as you have reported, no matter what sort of garbage I enter in the query field. By the way, I did not say three times , but three times for each db object, though I did not figure out how that observation could be true. Does the query builder work for you, if you enter syntactically correct sql? If so, why not debug the query outside the query builder for the timebeing?Moreover, queries that attach to field objects, generally, are not very sophisticated : maybe an inner join between client_id from invoice and client tables for example, in order to show the client name, or select detail rows corresponding to an invoice. The Query Builder is clearly designed to return a record view of each row. In the end, I am not sure that the by field/column interrogation of the db is going to be fast enough though showall fields seem pretty quick. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Database Query Builder: workaround please
On Nov 13, 2003, at 12:56 AM, David Wilkinson wrote: This behaviour is observable in 2.0.1, although perhaps not as severely. My experience is that there appear to be three iterations of the query loop, and they are repeated for each object on the card that is attached to the query. Each iteration produces the error message. FWIW, deleting the query seems to fix the problem here. David, I think you are talking about something else. What I am seeing is a bug. A GUI bug, and doesn't have anything to do with the query loop going for 3 iterations. On the Database Query Builder, Record Set Tab, SQL query field: 1) enter some syntactically bad SQL 2) click the refresh query button (or close the Database Query Builder window) 3) now Rev gets stuck in an endless loop of modal error dialogs. The problem is this code in revDBQuerySetup stack / recordSet card. The SQL is evaluated, causing a modal error dialog, causing the keyboard focus to leave the field, then reenter it the field. Then another closeField fires, another modal error dialog. Endlessly. on closefield put the cActiveQuery of this stack into tActiveQuery put revQueryLongName(tActiveQuery) into tObjects revSetSQLOfQuery tObjects,the text of me if revCursorOfQuery(tObjects) is not empty then revUpdateRecordSourceDetails else set the label of button cREVDatabaseQuery[primarykey] to None disable button cREVDatabaseQuery[primarykey] end if end closefield So Runrev- the Database Query builder is effectively useless. How about a fix? I can't just comment out the handler, because then the query is not evaluated at all.

Database Query Builder: workaround please
I can't believe I'm the only one being hassled by this bug, so is there a workaround I am missing? In the Database Query Builder, Record Set tab, if you enter some bad SQL into the field labeled SQL Query:, a popup error message says An error resulted for the SQL command in the database You click OK, then SQL Query field gets focus for a moment, then loses focus and the same modal error message pops up. Repeatedly. Now I've tried Command-period and I've tried to turn off the Messages using the Messages toolbar item, but neither has any effect because Rev is stuck in this loop of modal dialogs. So - I have to force-quit Revolution? See bugzilla #696. This bug was opened 7 weeks ago.
