Re: Advantage Database Server For Testing

Use arrays of DataObjects for temporary table data (i.e. with scatter/gather). This is the most elegant, the fastest and easiest way, and if you change structures of tables or so, the changes in your code are minimal.

Re: Advantage Database Server For Testing

I agree with Slavko - temporary arrays are much better than temporary tables, but Diego was talking about files in general, which means TXT or binary stuff, if I guess correctly. We created a "binary" table for this and store temporary files, TXT, but also XPF and all the other stuff (pictures, some...

Re: New library PowerPar for parallel programming

No reason to be upset or to get angry. I'm quite sure I know at least a little about parallel processing/programming and computing big data in synchronized threads, and I'm quite sure I'm not the only one here. I'm also sure I'm not the only one who understood that your PowerPar library is good for ...

Re: New library PowerPar for parallel programming

If you use the proposed Alaska method, it may occur that multiple of your processes run on the same CPU, and you didn't want that initially. But this is a task without a solution anyway. Load-balancing and predictions of utilization on an OS like Windows never work efficiently, since they are based...

Re: How to change currency symbol in windows

Hi, Joe.

The currency symbol is set at HKCU\Control Panel\International -> "sCurrency". Just write a different symbol to the reg variable, done. You know how to use DC_RegWrite() for this?

If you want to set it just for a session, "SetLocalInfoA" (KERNEL32.DLL) is the API-function to use.

Re: ADS sp_mgGetLockOwner PROCEDURE

Hi, Bob. We also still support and use the ADS for the same reasons. We still get licences from SAP, which is not easy nowadays. We built an own "management console" inside our application and do use some SQL there, but not for the locks. This uses the function AdsMgGetLockOwner() from ADSMG.DLL (fu...

Re: How do I detect the DLLs required by an XBase and eXpress application?

With release 2.00.2413 of Xbase++ (2.0), Alaska provides a tool (CLI) named "XPPDH.EXE", which will list all DLLs used by any Xbase++-binary, which can be an EXE or a DLL.

Re: GetLogicalProcessorCount() not work on W2022 Server 48core

Windows itself can't address a higher number of processors. There is no processor #33. It's number one on cluster two. There are API functions to get the number of processor groups and select one of them, but within a group, the maximum number of processors is 32, no matter how much logical processo...

Re: How do I detect the DLLs required by an XBase and eXpress application?

Hi, Pedro. It should be easy. All DLLs you find in the "Runtime"-folder of your Xbase++-distribution should be included. If you use Xb2.Net, include xb2net.dll, if you use sqlexpress, add sqlexpress.dll, if you use eXpress++, at least add dclipx.dll. Put all these and your exe in a folder of a compu...
