Richard ENT Technologies | I have a procedure to create a new database:
procedure cd_CreateEmptyDatabase(DatabaseDirectory : String); var Database : TEDBDatabase; begin Session.Execute('CREATE DATABASE "Rep4" PATH ' + Engine.QuotedSQLStr(DatabaseDirectory)); Database := TEDBDatabase.Create(Nil); Database.DatabaseName := 'Rep4DB'; Database.Database := 'Rep4'; Database.Open; Database.Execute('CREATE TABLE "System"' + '(' + '"Key" SMALLINT,' + '"StringValue" CHARACTER(40) COLLATE ANSI_CI,' + '"IntegerValue" INTEGER,' + '"FloatValue" FLOAT,' + '"DateValue" DATE,' + '"TimeValue" TIME,' + '"CONSTRAINT "Key_PrimaryKey" PRIMARY KEY ("Key")' + ')'); Database.Close; Database.Free; end; I call this procedure with the following code: DatabaseDirectory := 'C:\Users\Public\Rep4\Data\'; if Session.Execute('SELECT * FROM Configuration.Databases WHERE Name = ' + Engine.QuotedSQLStr('Rep4')) = 0 then cd_CreateEmptyDatabase(DatabaseDirectory); I'm using Delphi 2010 under Windows 7. This code runs, but when I look at the database directory using Windows Explorer, all I see are the catalog and configuration files. I can't see any actual tables. There are no errors being generated. |

>I'm using Delphi 2010 under Windows 7. This code runs, but when I look at the database directory using Windows Explorer, all I see are the catalog and configuration files. I can't see any actual tables. There are no errors being generated. I've never tried looking just after creating a database and tables but I wouldn't be surprised not to see any tables. ElevateDB is not like DBISAM. With the latter the metadata was held in the table and hence the table files had to be created when a table was. With ElevateDB the metadata is held in the catalog and the table files aren't needed until you open them. Just try opening your tables you should be OK. Roy Lambert [Team Elevate] |

The database catalog determines the existence of a table, not the table files themselves. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
