Re: ADS

If it's intended to change the server OS aswell (for security or feature reasons), creating and moving a virtualization may not be a good solution.

Re: ADS

Hi, Fred. You may reuse the install files, and you need the license key. In case, there are still some guys somewhere in Ireland providing a kind of support. ADS installation is just nothing: Running the setup, adding the license key, selecting the language. That's it. Configurating the ADS.INI (if ...

Re: Database backup and restore in pg xbade++

I try this but get error. My suggestion was not : Go and create a dump and save this using a SQL-command. This won't work, as k-insis mentioned. My suggestion was to retrieve the name and path of the physical files using an SQL-statement (like the one I showed) and create a backup by copying those ...

Re: Windows 10 progress bar api

Joe, there is no sample solution. Using the C-API for stuff like that is a little complicated . You need to know how to program in C+/++. You need to install a C-compiler, create the code (where ChatGPT may help you with) and use it with "EXTERN" in your application. You need to integrate the contro...

So it is useless.

Re: Database backup and restore in pg xbade++

Hi, Joe.
I need to use runshell ??
No. That is a valid (PG-)SQL statement. Depending on how you connect to the PG server from inside your application, you may just send this statement to the server and analyze the result.

Re: Database backup and restore in pg xbade++

Those limitations are easy to handle. And I didn't say that this is best practice; it's just a way to create a backup. You don't need to have an active connection to your server to do that. Besides, the statement can be used from inside an Xbase++-application (same with dump, I know).

Re: Database backup and restore in pg xbade++

You may directly create a backup of the physical files where your database is stored. Open pgAdmin, select your database and open the query tool. Type this command: show data_directory; It shows where the database physically resides on your machine. Backup this folder. In case, you may also restore ...

Re: Welcome to our dystopian future

This is not science fiction.
I wish it were so.

And it's just the beginning. The Orange President and The Crazy Billionaire will not only make this dystopia a reality, but will also cause substantial and irreparable damage to the entire world.
