ADO RDD xHarbour

[James Bott]

Vilian,

It appears to be saying that it is not finding the database. Perhaps the path is not specified or is incorrect.

You should also check your normal connection syntax with that being used in the ADORDD.PRG's ADOOOPENCONNECT() function.

I don't have MySQL installed here so I can't test it. Plus I am running xHarbour not Harbour.

I do suggest using the ACCESS Northwind.mdb to get started. After you get that opened successfully, then you can try other databases. MySQL is supposed to be syntax compatible so it should be easy once you get Northwind.mdb working.

Vilian,

See postings 4, and 5 on page 27 of this message thread on solving issues with Harbour.

James,

Thanks, but we decided make this migration using Tdolphin. It is more easy than I did think

[James Bott]

Antonio F.,

There is a typo in this SET command from the ado.ch file:

#command SET ADO TEMPORAY NAMES INDEX LIST TO <array> => ListTmpNames( <array>) /* defining temporary index array list of names*/

"TEMPORAY" should be "TEMPORARY". I know this will break backward compatibility, but without it all new code will be causing errors because everyone will think they should be typing "temporary."

Strangely, I note that the spell checker for IE does not flag "TEMPORAY" as misspelled if it is in all caps--only if it is lower case.

Keep up the great work you are doing.

Regards,
James

Antonio F,

I am attempting to import records from a DBF to an Access table. This crashes:

The crash is happening at this line:

Without that line it runs fine.

Antonio F,

I have been unable to do any type of APPEND. Either there are bugs in the ADORDD or I am doing something wrong.

APPEND FROM... errors out as shown in my previous message. And, APPEND BLANK errors out in the code below. This means that I cannot get any data into the table using ADORDD. I suspect I am doing something wrong but I don't have a clue what it might be.

Anyone else know? Anyone able to do an APPEND? If so, please provide example code.

I note that Antonio Ferreira seems to have disappeared. He hasn't posted anything on this forum since June 30.

Is the ADORDD project now dead?

Does anyone know what happened to him? I hope he has just been too busy.

I am very anxious to get some data into a SQL database, but so far have been unable to do so using the ADORDD. And I have had no response to any of my questions about this here.

Does anyone have sample (working) code to import a DBF? Preferably into an ACCESS database.

Regards,
James

Hi James,

Antonio F wrote me that he is on holiday in July.

Do you mean to import a dbf file and export it to a sql database in general? (see code below) or with adordd?, another tool is: http://dbfviewer2000.com

James,

To create an Access database:

FW_CreateMdb( "test.mdb" )

To connect to it:

oCon = FW_OpenAdoConnection( "test.mdb" )

To create a table:

Code: Select all  Expand view

FWAdoCreateTable( "tableName", aFields, oCon, .T. )

Where aFields is the array that you get from DBStruct()

[James Bott]

Pieter and Antonio,

I have already successfully created a table in the ACCESS database. Now I want to import data from a DBF to that table. The problem is that both APPEND BLANK and APPEND FROM error out. With a working RDD I should just be able to do:

use customer alias "cust"

append from SAMPLE.DBF via "DBFCDX"

But this isn't working. (See also my previous posts with the exact sample code I am trying to use.)

Regards,
James

I got this error when I pressed new from browse window.

This works:
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE FIELD->FIRST WITH "Pieter2"


This does not work:

Pieter,

The field HBRECNO has to be added to every table. It is an auto-increment field.

Search this forum topic for HBRECNO for more information. I still do not really understand its purpose, but it is needed, nor do I have the exact syntax for adding it to existing SQL databases. Maybe someone else can show us how.

James

[James Bott]

The file() function does not seem to be working.

In the tryadordd.prg this function is used like this:

if !FILE("table1;northwind.mdb")

It always returns .F. even when the table exists. I also tried it with the preceding \ syntax (that is used elsewhere in the example program):

if !FILE("table1";\northwind.mdb")

It always returns .F. also.

And I do wonder about having to include the database name. If we have to do this then it is not syntax compatible with existing FW code. We would have to change all calls to File() in our programs. Or, does it use an existing default database if no database is specified? I also tried that:

if !FILE("Table1")

Which also returns .F. even when the table exists.

Comments anyone?

Regards
James

[James Bott]

Ok, some of the errors I have been reporting were due to another buildx.bat file that was in the path which was not linking in all three of the LIBs needed for the ADORDD. My bad.

I tried appending from a dbf to a SQL table (in an ACCESS) and it worked until it crashed at record 548. I am including the error log below. I'm at a loss at to what the problem might be.

The file I am trying to import has slightly more than 26000 records.

James, thanks, adding a field HBRENCO, solves the problem, when I press new in the window. However sometimes the window crashes, when I try to modify a record.

Have a nice day.
