MI-L Spatialware table extents and point accuracy.

2005-06-08 Thread Robert Crossley
More spatialware stuff, Is there a stored procedure in spatialware that will update the table extents in the Mapinfo_Mapcatalog? I can sort of get there I think with an update query like the following (although this isn't working yet - it may need a stored proc with a temp table):

Hi List This is something I want to get to grips with. I have two versions of a Stops table: one in Visual Foxpro and the other in MI. SO, I have an VFP Manual database and the MI graphics version. When I make changes in either system I have the means to copy the update to the other system.

My question has gotten more response and input than I had expected. I agree with Gretchen. It would explain why the tables show up as being used by another user if you don't use File-Close All or Close Table. All of the points made relate back to why the Quick Start Dialog doesn't give you

I would advocate that any sort of comparison take place on the pending Pro 8.0 versus an old code emulated by many. Given that the rumor of the release for MapInfo Pro 8.0 is for this month, I'd wait a few days before discounting the MapInfo offering as suggested. neil -Original

It is not a rumor anymore. MapInfo 8.0 has been released and I have already had a look at it. Some nice new features has been added. One feature that I could have used years ago when I did a lot of vectorization is the Stream digitizing that adds a new node to a polyline/polygon when you move
