PureBasic Forums - English

Hi all,

I want to learn pb database programming. Where should I start?

Thanks in advance

the help documentation and examples is a good start.

what kind of database programming?

There are links and examples to database code all through the forum as well as full mini programs from many people.

Just load some of the examples up and try them, have the debugger turned on. Kiffi and TS-Soft had some great wrappers and example code lying around (just to mention a few).

Make sure that you make yourself a test directory and save your test code into it so that it is used as the current directory for database/file operations and you have permission from your O/S for write operations in there.

Load up the example from the PB help file and try that as it is version agnostic. Once you have specific questions, ask away and many people lurk here who can help you out.

It might help you if you have a specific goal in mind for your database needs as in, "What does my database need to do, what sort of info does it need to hold" and start to design/ask questions with that goal in mind.

Hello to all.
And an adition to the above you can also check the Databases section of the excellent PureBasic Survival Guide.
The link is here
Regards.
