Re(2): Curious about "functional programming"

Hi John, Do the difficulties of a functional approach apply to almost any database-type application, or is it more the issues with error handling in 4D? Are there other circumstances where a functional approach works well, or is it simply an ideal? Do object-oriented languages

Re: SFTP and Internet Commands

I’d like to thank Miyako for his help on this issue. It turned out that the plugin needed to be updated (twice!) to handle the type of FTP I was using and he did it all very quickly. If anyone else needs this, there is a version 1.2 of the plugin available now.

Re: Database locked in merged application

one thing to keep in mind is that Default.4DD is always opened in R/O mode in a built application. the main objective of this feature is to suppress the "select or create data file" dialog on startup. I understand your app is meant to be R/O, but normally, there should be code to find and switch

Re: Database locked in merged application

Re: So it looks like the data file which is wrapped up inside the application can’t be used After opening the app's package, doing a "Get Info" on the contents, making permissions R/W, and then building the app, that message went away in the built application. I had set the DB preference to

Re: Curious about "functional programming"

I view it a little differently although my CS backround is old (graduated in 1983 with MS)., Procerdural is a style which is baed upon a language, COBOL for example ios a procedural based language. C++ is an object based language. Not sure if this helps Happy holidays to all and to all a good

Curious about "functional programming"

Hello, There seem to be at least two different "programming paradigms": - Procedural programming, where the subroutines make changes to the system; and - Functional programming, where called methods only return results to the calling method (ie, the called method does not perform any work

MS SQL Server Deletion Issue

Is there a known issue in V16 regarding the deletion of records from MS SQL Server? We converted a system from V15 R5 over to V16.3 NB217768. We are able to read SQL records, but no longer able to delete them. We are using the standard, built in 4D SQL commands, same code in both V15 & V16.

RE: Database locked in merged application

My assumption is that the application is falling victim to Gatekeeper and being translocated to a read-only location. Apple documents how to get around this; they suggest signing the app and placing it on a dmg and then signing the dmg. Quote from Apple: "For distribution outside of the Mac App

Re: Creating/Modifying 4DWrite/Pro Documents via Web Page

I assumed when they announced write pro and it was based upon HTML that we would be able to do this but progress has been slow and nothing's been announced. As Pat mentioned you should be able to use one of the JavaScript editors such as Tinymce but I believe that write pro uses custom tags so

Re: Creating/Modifying 4DWrite/Pro Documents via Web Page

I'm pretty sure this cannot be done with any flavour of 4DWrite ... I'd maybe use something like TinyMCE ( https://www.tinymce.com/docs/demo/full-featured/) and find a way to insert tags to merge data. TinyMCE is open source and either cloud- or self-hosted and mobile-friendly. This is something
