Care to share a simple glimpse of what >one of these "External Delphi Sql Functions" look like! ![]() They come in two flavours - SQL& Delphi Have a look in the extensions ng for some examples of Delphi ones - about the 6th post down under my name. An SQL one CREATE FUNCTION "RCF" (IN "In1" VARCHAR COLLATE ANSI, IN "In2" VARCHAR COLLATE ANSI, IN "Separator " VARCHAR COLLATE ANSI) RETURNS VARCHAR COLLATE ANSI BEGIN DECLARE Output VARCHAR; SET Output = COALESCE(In2,''); IF (In1 IS NOT NULL) AND (In1 <> '') THEN IF (In2 IS NOT NULL) AND (In2 <> '') THEN SET Output = Output + Separator + In1; ELSE SET Output = In1; END IF; END IF; RETURN Output; END DESCRIPTION 'Reverse combine fields' VERSION 1.00 >I have been doing this all from within EDB Manager.

However, remember, even with SQL/PSM its not a full programming language. You can achieve much but for some you need to jump through several hoops and it works best with a long legged female assistant to distract your mind ![]() Roy Lambert [Team Elevate] |

The main reason I developed my own was I hold all the ElevateSoft newsgroup info and a fair wadge of the Borland/CodeGear stuff (c200k records now) and way back OE would corrupt and I'd have to download all again. ><< And how often messed up the threads because they use the title rather >than the reference list? >> > >That happens a lot - I can lose threads completely because of that stupid >"feature". I'm beginning to think I may have to build it in for the CG ngs - someone edits a post and new reference ID trail. Roy Lambert |
