Re: Xojo Developers

I had a Real Basic license years ago. Still, I abandoned it because I needed to consider a tool that supplied a smoother transition from VB6. Power Basic Forms and Power Basic for Windows were a better transition for VB6 programmers. However, I became disappointed by Power Basic's lack of direction ...

Re: CrossDatabase sql query using two database handles

Hi LiK137,
Are you trying to query against different database schemas or a different database instances in PostgreSQL? If you're querying against a different database instance, you'll probably have to use a database link. To query across database links, use the PostgreSQL "dblink" function.

Re: Report Builder / Viewr

From a PureBasic perspective, you might want to consider designing screens with PureBasic's Visual Designer, then rendering the output with PurePDF.

I know that doesn't directly answer your question for a quick report designer, but it allows you to design output with PureBasic + PurePDF.

Re: C to PureBasic Converter (?)

There was an old project from about 12 years ago that converted C headers to VB. I think this was the link (below):

https://www.codebus.net/d-31pb.html

You could convert this to PB and use to build PB headers and declarations.

Re: Need Help with KillProgram Process Command

Thanks, Infratect. This is very helpful.

In this particular case, killing the program or issuing a Ctrl-C is necessary. This is because the program continues to run until stopped. Any future calls to RunProgram will produce duplicate copies of the program.

Thanks again.

Re: SQL searching logic on multiple fields, not quite right.

percy_b, if you are still around and reading this stuff, could you advise me on the correct order here?

either titlename OR information OR comment should match '%gar%' in any of the three fields then the following 6 fields should be AND into the result.

Instead, the datatype field returns all ...

Re: FileFingerprint Question

I am using FileFingerprint to get the fingerprint of a zip file.

I then recreate the same zip file in the same way and use FileFingerprint again.

It gives me two different fingerprints?

Is this because of the two different times of creation?

Is there any way to get over this?

Re: Is there some timeout in DatabaseQuery() with sqlite? Fr

Hi,

we're experiencing strange SQLite queries comming back after exactly 1000ms (one second). The SQLite guys do not have an idea why.

So maybe PureBasic is having such limitation or timeout somewhere? Or maybe is SQLITE_BUSY as result ignored (https://sqlite.org/rescode.html#busy)?
