Here's the latest decls file. You'll note a few more commands at the end of it. I have to redo a few of the docs and rebuild. I'll have that within the hour.;Declarations file for blitzdata.dll .lib "BlitzData.dll" BD_OpenDatabase%(Server$,Database$,UserName$,Password$,dbtype%):BD_OpenDatabase BD_CloseDatabase():BD_CloseDatabase BD_GetDatabaseState%():BD_GetDatabaseState BD_GetTableState%():BD_GetTableState BD_FirstRecord():BD_FirstRecord BD_NextRecord():BD_NextRecord BD_PreviousRecord():BD_PreviousRecord BD_LastRecord():BD_LastRecord BD_RecordCount%():BD_RecordCount BD_SQLQuery%(query$):BD_SQLQuery BD_CloseQuery():BD_CloseQuery BD_GetColumn$(colname$):BD_GetColumn BD_AddRecord():BD_AddRecord BD_UpdateRecord():BD_UpdateRecord BD_SetStringColumn(col$, val$):BD_SetStringColumn BD_SetIntegerColumn(col$, val%):BD_SetIntegerColumn BD_SetFloatColumn(col$, val#):BD_SetFloadColumn BD_BeginTransaction():BD_BeginTransaction BD_RollbackTransaction():BD_RollbackTransaction BD_CommitTransaction():BD_CommitTransaction BD_CreateJetDatabase(fname$,typ%):BD_CreateJetDatabase BD_CreateJetTable(fname$,table$):BD_CreateJetTable BD_AddJetColumn(fname$,table$,col$,typ%,siz%):BD_AddJetColumn BD_SendSQLCommand(sql$):BD_SendSQLCommand BD_SetDebugMode(mode%):BD_SetDebugMode BD_DeleteRecord():BD_DeleteRecord BD_RecordSetBOF%():BD_RecordSetBOF BD_BOF%():BD_BOF BD_RecordSetEOF%():BD_RecordSetEOF BD_EOF%():BD_EOF BD_ColumnName$(ord%):BD_ColumnName BD_ColumnCount%():BD_ColumnCount BD_ColumnDataType%(colname$):BD_ColumnDataType BD_ColumnSize%(colname$):BD_ColumnSize BD_SetCacheSize(csize%):BD_SetCacheSize BD_GetCacheSize%():BD_GetCacheSize BD_SetBookmark(ord%):BD_SetBookmark BD_ReturnToBookmark(ord%):BD_ReturnToBookmark BD_ClearBookmark(ord%):BD_ClearBookmark BD_GetLastError%():BD_GetLastError BD_GetLastErrDesc$():BD_GetLastErrDesc |

| Here's the latest build... If you can, uninstall previous versions and use the installer for this one. I think everything is complete and works now, but I'd like someone to test it and make sure. http://www.outergods.com/blitz/blitzdata12r8b.zip And here's the "update" zip that has only the dll and decls file. http://www.outergods.com/blitz/blitzdataupd.zip Lemme know how it goes. If it works for you all I think I might call it finished and move on to my game again. :) Kanati (oh, and you'll note that the install has been cut down to 4 meg.) |
| ||
| Last update broke it! BD_CloseQuery() causes error: Object variable or with block variable not set (91) |
| ||
| GACK!!! That's because of the bookmark code I put in too. Crap. Looking right now. |
| ||
| oops... Would have broke BD_ClearBookmark() too. Fixed. The blitzdataupd.zip file contains build 109. The blitzdata12r8b contains the full install rebuilt with fix. Kanati |
| ||
| Works much better now. Thanks |
| ||
| I removed the Set and GetMaxRecords() commands I had added since you can set that in the query itself with "SELECT TOP XX". No need to overcomplicate things. But other than that I think this will be the final commandset for BlitzData. Anything else will probably be put on hold until I finish my game (unless I find I need it for the game itself) and version 2.0 at some indefinite time in the future (kinda like BlitzMax hehe :) ) So have at it... beat the snot out of it... and lemme know if you find any buggers. Kanati |
| ||
| What about: BDGetQueryTimeOut%() BDSetQueryTimeOut%(Seconds%) Not sure what would happen if I ran a long query. Don't want it to error out. 8) I think were damn close, if not there now. |
| ||
| I will look into that... It MIGHT make me revise the commandset but I've never had a query timeout, and I've ran it against a table with 3 million records. But POSSIBLY if you are doing a few joins......... I'll look into it. Kanati |
| ||
| ADO objects default to a 30 second command timeout, any command that takes longer will terminate the connection and the command. Some queries take longer than 30 seconds, so it's nice to be able to adjust it up a bit to prevent the time out error, or set it to zero to take as long as it pleases. CommandTimeout Property Indicates how long to wait while executing a command before terminating the attempt and generating an error. Settings and Return Values Sets or returns a Long value that indicates, in seconds, how long to wait for a command to execute. Default is 30. Remarks Use the CommandTimeout property on a Connection object or Command object to allow the cancellation of a command due to delays from network traffic or heavy server use. If the time from the CommandTimeout property setting elapses prior to execution of the command, an error occurs and ADO cancels the command. If you set the property to zero, ADO will wait indefinitely until the execution is complete. Make sure the provider and data source to which you are writing code supports the CommandTimeout functionality. For Connection objects, the CommandTimeout property is read/write. When you use CommandTimeout on a Connection object, you set a global value for all commands executed and all recordsets opened on that connection. You can override this value for a specific command by setting the CommandTimeout property of the appropriate Command object. Thanks for looking into it. Wayne |

| Thank you again Kanati, for giving us a great tool to use with Blitz3d. -Wayne |
| ||
| Unfortunately... The ONLY place I use the command object is in BD_SendSQLCommand() and I don't allow for it returning the single recordset that I give access to. CommandTimeout and ConnectionTimeout aren't available to me in the recordset object (I use recset.Open "",...) to get the recordset. I can certainly change this but it would require me to rewrite almost all of my commands that use the recordset. There's a lot of benefit to using the command object to return a recordset. Threre's a lot of options to run stored procedures and such. So for now... I'm going to have to say no to the timeout thing. I will revist the issue though and rewrite the entire library. Planned To Do: Timeout implementation on queries, commands, connections Metadata access Here's the biggie... Multiple recordsets and connections. But. I'm going to work on my game first so I'm thinking it's about 3 months out. However, any bugs you find in this will be addressed promptly. Just let me know. I'll give it a few more days for any bugs found, and in the meantime I'll finish up docs. Make a few real demo programs for samples. And polish it up a bit before I release it in it's final form. Kanati |
| ||
| Arghhhh no command object. Yes, would be a rewrite, *smack* use command object next time. Let me know if you need any sample code or help with command object in the future. 8) The default command timeout of 30 seconds will do for now. At least we have blitzdata and SQL is possible now! Looking forward to final release. Thank you Kanatu, nice job bro! |
| ||
| Send me some email, or post a message on a new thread if you need any help testing, or need code donations for your game. Also feel free to include any info, code samples, or connection strings I've posted into your final build. -Wayne |
| ||
| Will do. I really didn't even think about using the command object in the beginning. When I do a rewrite I will most definitely use it as the "core" object type instead of the recordset. Kanati |

| Kanati, Could you tell me how I open a MS Access database? I mean what should I put in the BD_OpenDatabase function? I run the acces database local on the same pc I run blitzbasic, so I thought I don't have to supply a server, password or anything, just the path and name to the database and the type of database, but I keep getting an error. Could you give me an code example on opening an MS Access database? Thanks in advance, Andrik |
| ||
| These links dont work anymore, anyone have these files? I will store them publicly on my server if I can get them. |
| ||
| Darkhalf, You can find the files at: www.sportbikemods.com/blitz/blitzdata14rc1.zip www.sportbikemods.com/blitz/blitzdataupd.zip I posted before you about how to use an MS access database, do you have any idea? best regards, Andrik |
| ||
| Does anyone still have these files? If allowed, i will put them on mi website. |
| ||
| http://downloads.lineof7s.com/blitzdata141.zip http://downloads.lineof7s.com/blitzdataupd.zip |
| ||
| Thank you! I also uploaded the files here, http://www.jferretdesign.be/blitz-3d.php |
| ||
| The first file contains a installer wich installs a lib called blitz printer? The second one, the update, contains blitz data dll and decls file but no examples. Is the first file correct? |
| ||
| Okay, I have bad news and bad news. That copy of the Blitz Data file is the only one I have and the only one I can find lying about teh internets anywhere. Despite all the references to BlitzData in the filename, the installer and the readme file, it does indeed install the Blitz Printer library. Rats! Foiled again! The worse news is related to this post I discovered but moments after emailing Kanati in an act of desperation. I'll repost it here for future reference (this was posted a year ago - around 2010). http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=87118#987330 I recently got an email from someone in regards to the old toolbox/printer libraries that I had put out. I tend to get one or two of these per year so I figure since I've been fiddling with blitz again for a while I'd let people know that a) I don't have the old code any more for those libraries. b) They do NOT work under the new versions of blitz (1.34 for certain). c) Unless I get more interest than 1-2 persons per year, I probably won't revisit the libraries. I still think that blitz had a need for printer libraries... But there just isn't enough interest for me to bother with writing a new one from scratch. d) The mersenne twister random number generator SHOULD still work under all versions of blitz. I just put that in the toolbox if anyone wants it. Other than that... I got nothin. Resume your normal day-to-day lives. :) Kanati |

| Better news! I've been in contact with the ever-helpful Kanati, and he tells me that despite the Blitzdata zip above actually being BlitzPrinter, the update zip file above contains everything you need to get going (except examples - but if you need some of those chances are there are threads around discussing how to use it (no, I haven't looked)). |
