Re: Funcion File()

Hola Vikthor. (and hello Otto).

File() solo puede ver dentro de directorios locales. Piensa que File() le pregunta al sistema operativo si en el file system ese archivo existe. El OS no puede responder sobre la existencia de un archivo en un PC remota. Cuando preguntas con un UNC que hasta incluye ...

Re: From FastReport to HTML

Hello Otto;

With FastReports you can load the report and without having to "show" it, you can export to html. Like this:
:DoExport( <cExportObjectName> )
Where cExportObjectName can be: "PDFExport", "HTMLExport", "RTFExport", "CSVExport", "XLSExport", "DotMatrixExport", "BMPExport", "JPEGExport ...

Re: SMB vs. Socket – stability and speed for DBF

Hello Otto. How is the weather in Sillian today?

If I interpret your comments correctly, you infer that sending requests and getting answers from the server via a socket connection is better than using a share folder to store and retrieve information. Indeed this is true. It is much faster, more ...

Re: EasyReport Web

Hello Otto;

Great effort.

I might be interested on it and even working on its development. To get up to speed, it would help if code variables and comments were in English. Just looking at German variable names that I can't retype, makes progress slower.

English seems to be more the global ...

Re: Why SQL Is Overrated – and Why Files, DBF, and Microservices Are the Future (Especially for Web and AI)

Ok, I will try to chime in this subject:

#1-- SQL hides your data behind layers of magic “You don’t own your data if you can’t see it.”
#2. Filesystems are more transparent, flexible, and AI-friendly “AI loves structure. Not secrecy.”

SQL is "magic" or "mysterious" or "incomprehensible" --yes ...

Re: FWH 16.08 : Built-in MySql/MariaDB functionality (Updated )

Querido amigo mio;

Muchas muchas gracias.

That thread helped me see the problem.

So far, everywhere I have read and even when testing scripts with HeidiSQL, I must use the clase "DELIMITER" to change the standard delimiter from ; to something else, like //. That way a ; does not ends the script ...

Parameterized queries with MariaDB

Hello Everyone;

Parameterized queries are key to preventing SQL injection in any SQL including MariaDB. However, in MariaDB (and MySQL), the parameterization itself is handled at the level of the client application, not in SQL syntax directly.

Parameterized queries are also a lot faster when ...

Re: FWH 16.08 : Built-in MySql/MariaDB functionality (Updated )

Hello group;

Is there a pdf or wiki that documents this MariaDB class? I would like something that describes the whole class without having to read each post on the forum.

And one other thing; is this an update to the TDolphin class or a whole different class altogether?

Thank you.

Re: DBF File Format - Considerations A Secure Option

Hello. It is easy to defend and swear by DBF when you have not experimented with SQL. It is hard to miss or even imagine what you have never experienced.

If you are a DBF user, you don’t care much for referential integrity. Sync and replication are just fancy words. Relational joints and result ...

Re: How to Curl for text messaging

curl_global_init() and curl_global_cleanup() should be called only once in the program. Throw them away from the function.

Have a main function as an entry point. For example: Main(). And from that Main() entry point call curl_global_init.... then call your function as many times as needed. Then ...

Re: How to Curl for text messaging
