  • - Limit your code mods to the daNexus.pas unit. It is isolated to Nexus and
    will not affect any other database connectivity. Perhaps make a copy of the
    unit and then play with it.

    - TnxQuery is being used by the daNexus …

  • - open daNexus.pas and find the method implementation for
    TdanxSession.GetTableNames.

    - the TdanxSession.GetTableNames method is calling
    TnxDatabase.GetTableNames to get the list of available table names. If there

  • The DataDictionary is only used to create/edit a query dataview. Once the
    query dataview is saved, the data dictionary is not used to execute the
    query and generate the report.

    Run the application with UseDataDictionary …

  • This will be fixed for RB 10.03, which will be released soon...




  • - Make sure that you use a connection object placed on the form/datamodule
    that contains the report component. Configure the connection object to
    connect to the database and then configure RB to use the connection.

  • Thanks for the feedback. I put these on the list of items to research...

  • - The key here is that you said it was working before you deleted the
    TADOConnection component. I do not recommend doing that. You are just making
    things more complication. Instead, I recommend that you speficy the

  • - A report definition typically consists of layout elements, data access
    elements, and code. Using RB Enterprise, all of these can be created via the
    report designer and saved externally (i.e. outside of the .exe).

  • 1. ReportBuilder does not currently contain support for Unicode. (This is a
    feature that we would like to add and we are hopeful that Borland will add
    Unicode support to the VCL in a future release - to make this a more
    manageable …

  • Thanks for the feedback, I will add this to the request list.

  • I installed SQL Server and performed some testing using D2006, RB 10.04, and
    dbExpress

    - the query tools work fine. I encountered no issues with gettingthe list of
    tables or fields. Make sure that you have DataSettings.U…

  • I researched this and have updated the DADE plug-in for DBExpress,
    daDBExpress.pas for RB 10.03. Send an email request to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and we can send you the updated unit.

  • Can you provide information about the SDAC plug-in so that we can we add a
    listing to the DADE plug-ins page on our web site?

    http://www.digi…

  • - first you will need a DADE plug-in for SDAC, does CoreLab provide one? (we
    would like to update our DADE plug-ins page to include a listing for it. )


  • Sorry, but I do not understand what you are asking.

    - are you using the RB DataDictionary to define the tables, fields, and
    relationships? If so do you have AllowManualJoins set to true?

    - The Query Designer allows …

  • Ok, great.

    For a future release, perhaps we can enhance TdaSQLBuilder to provide direct
    method calls for managing the links. I will add that to the list. in Changing DADE query in code - adding fields Comment by nardmoseley August 2006

  • I would convert the report to use SQLBuilder if at all possible.

    I think what is happening is that you are modifying the TdaSQL object (or
    more likely a copy of it), but the TdaQueryDataView does not know about it.
    If yo…
  • - make sure that have a statement to free the SQLBuilder

    lSQLBuilder.Free;

    - you can also try adding a statement to explicitly call ApplyUpdates prior
    to Free

    lSQLBuilder.ApplyUpdates;
    lSQLBuilder.Free;

  • Thanks for the feedback. For the next release we will update the references
    package source and the ReadMe.doc. (and yes, the ReadMe.doc was created from
    one that was written for Flash Filer)

  • RB 10 includes a DADE Plug-in for NexusDB, it is installed to

  • For an example of a correct configuration using Interbase Express, check out
    RBuilder\Demos\EndUser Databases\Interbase\IBExpress. Open the example and
    check the Designer.DataSettings values. The SessionType is set to IBXSession

  • Thanks for the feeback - it could definitely be implemented better -
    something like a BeginUpdate/EndUpdate feature would be nice.

  • Here is an example that I created - it shows how to use SQLBuilder to edit
    the SQLText and use AutoSearch. The example is implemented with Delphi code,
    however it can be adapted to RAP by coding some RAP pass-thru functions.
    <…

  • - rather than using a RAP passs-thru function to modify the SQL, I recommend
    using the TdaSQLBuilder class. The TdaSQLBuilder class is designed for
    eactly this purpose - to provide programmatic access to the TdaSQL object
