Is rev Oracle support just a joke?

2009-10-27 Thread Sakari Ruoho
Hi, this question has been raising to my mind mind lately. I have not been able to connect Oracle with Revolution using the normal connection identifiers. So my question is if the Revolution really is supporting Oracle connections or is it just a hoax? It could be that I'm making the mistake

Hi Sakari, Oracle support for Revolution is not a joke - I'm assuming you have an Enterprise license otherwise you can't connect to Oracle anyway. First of all, on which platform and cpu architecture are you working? Secondly, what version of Oracle are you trying to connect to? Thirdly, can

Re: Dispatch-Sending keyDown

2009-10-27 Thread Jan Schenkel
One of the key differences between 'send' and 'dispatch' (other than the 'with' extension to more easily pass paramaters), is that 'dispatch' won't throw an error if the message isn't handled. So in fact, when you use ## dispatch foo to this stack with bar ## It internally works more like ##

The only thing that doesn't seem to work so far, is opening your rev stacks by double-clicking the icon in the finder; you can still open these files perfectly fine from within the Rev IDE. I wouldn't exactly call that a reason to abstain from upgrading to Snow Leopard. It's just a minor

Actually, the work-around that Sandra offered works because the problem is in the intel code and the way Snow Leopard and RunRev interact. Until a permanent solution is distributed, running Rev under Rosetta (using the PPC code) works. Marc Siskin On Oct 27, 2009, at 10:46 AM, Ian Wood
