Yes. I should have been clearer. While I could just copy the file for a sqlite db, this app may use MySQL (or someday, possible other flavors of SQL database) and I'd like to have a generalized routine that just relies on LiveCode and "standard" SQL commands. Also I already see that "standard" SQL commands may be an issue in that I would have assumed DESCRIBE <table> to get the details of a table was part of sqlite, but now I see you need to use other tricks to get a table description in sqlite. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
