Re:[pilot-db-list] Memory Error in the Newest Beta

[Chalain Marc<mar...@vo...>]

Thank you, i looking for the bugs and i found a lot of them. The trouble comes there is a lot of old bugs that we never saw because DB was small. But now is not the same thing.
I hope to give a new beta version today or tomorrow. It's depend if the Gremlins tool (Palm Emulator tool) give me satisfaction.

RE: [pilot-db-list] csv2pdb error

[Lawrence S. <spr...@ya...>]

I ran into this problem severa times.
There are two solutions:
1: put the field width in the field declaration (for ALL fields)
2: ensure that you have a hard return after each listview definition
including the last one!!!

If you do the width during the field declaration, it will ignore the
listviews

Hello,

I am trying convert a CSV file to PDB using csv2pdb.  I am following
the 
syntax instructions I get from the -h option, but I keep getting the
message:

csv2pdb: at least one list view must be specified

I can't find any reference to this in the syntax guide.  Could
someone tell 
me what I'm missing?

  OK perhaps you may add
  -L$(PALMDEV)/sdk-4/lib/m68k-palmos-coff/lib
  in the link command.
  I will see if there is a trouble in my Makefile. But you are the first to
have this problem, perhaps your installation is not well done. I used too
cygwin.

The db-tools are command line tools for extracting data from a pdb -> csv (=

The text data file can be imported into apps like Access and Excel and othe=

You may want to check out this yahoo group that I started:

Marco,

	hi, I'm assuming that you checked to make sure the that the=20
libPalmOSGlue.a is actually in the right place.  If it is, and the=20
compiler is still not finding it, try doing a
	/usr/local/bin/m68k-palmos-gcc -v

or whatever path is appropriate.  This should tell you all the places tha=
t=20
your compiler is looking for things.  Make sure that there is a=20

[pilot-db-list] Problems compiling source

[Marco A N R. <ma...@te...>]

Hi,

Db is a cool software for Palm. So I want to compile my personal edition of
DB without support of plug-ins, scripts and others. I have used configure to
generate makefile, but the file generated is wrong. I have fixed some paths
but I can´t link code (can´t find PalmOSGlue lib). My source version is
0.3.3c and I using cygwin and prc-tools 2.0.92 in a win2k box.


Regards,

Marco

P.S. Sorry about my bad English.

Re: [pilot-db-list] db 0.3.4 beta 2

[Oliver G. <oli...@we...>]

Hi Marc!

I just downloaded version 0.3.4 beta 2 (14 Jan 2002) and tried it
on the emulator (Palm IIIc running PalmOS 3.5.0).

It seems that with this version I am unable to edit the
list views. I can change the settings in the list view edit
screen, but I can't store them. The "Done" button does
exactly the same as the "Cancel" button. This still worked
with 0.3.4 beta 1 (11 Jan 2002).

Also, the version number in the "About" dialog still shows
"DB v. 0.3.4beta1" (but it definitely is the new version
as of 14 Jan 2002.

I wasn't able to reproduce the behaviour I mentioned in my
previous mail (with the renamed database). If I find a procedure
to recreate that error, I'll mail it to you.

I really appreciate the hard work you put into this. I'm a
software developer myself and I know how time consuming
and frustrating the debugging process can be. Many thanks
again for all your time and work on this project.

Cheers,
	Oliver

[pilot-db-list] Fatal exception on creation of new database

[suncor <su...@ya...>]

After hearing about more than one person with hard resets in the new
version, I'm still in 0.3.3c. I have previously created databases in the
program on my visor with no problem. I have a visor platinum with OS 3.5.2,
no hacks. Since last night when I hit the new key to create a new database,
I get a fatal exception and an on-screen soft reset.

Re: [pilot-db-list] DB 1.3.0

[Chalain Marc<mar...@vo...>]

It seems there is a trouble on PalmOS 3.3 and other PalmOS versions seems to work fine (but i repeat it's a beta version and can contain bugs).
i remind you the three kinds of reset.
 Soft Reset: only the reset button on the backside. It reset the device and call every applications.
 Hard Reset: the reset button and the on/off button. It reset the device and erase the memory.
 Warm Reset: the reset button and the up button. It reset the device.
 
For the information plugin sorry i forgot to rebuild it.

For you bug please give me the maximum of informations that can help me.

[pilot-db-list] 1.3.0 feedback

[Fab <kr...@bi...>]

	Hello all.

	My feedback about 1.3.0. Palm VX, 4bpp,

	Good feelings :

	Great new things. Thanks for the first letter lookup and
the "linked" type which I missed a lot beside the "link" one.
	My slow scrolling problem with 4bpp has gone.


	Bugs :

	There seems to be strange characters under the vertical separators.
It's not always true, but sometimes after a redisplay, they appear.

	When I modify the database design in some ways (not always) , all
list views disapear and I must rebuild them.

	After modifying the default value of a string field, I got a fatal
exception when rebuilding the database.

	When saving a record where I didn't write anything, because fields
have default values, then record is not saved.

	The increment value of an integer seems to be unstable. Very hard
to have the field initialized, and it loose the last attributed value
very easyly

	The default values are sometimes lost. I haven't found a way to
reproduce at all times.

	The "linked" type is not updated when you finish to select the
linked record in the "link" type. You have to save thenewly added
record, the modify it to get the field updated.

	Ok, that's all for now.

	Fab.

Actually, I just called the DB 0.2.x format "OldDB" and nothing else. There 
was actually a 0.1.x series in the early days but it numbered 0.10 through 
0.19 and I switched to the 0.2.x number when I would have reached 0.20. (The 
0.2.x format is really also used by 0.10-0.19 versions as well.) I just 
mention the whole version thing because for me 1.3.0 makes it sound like the 
versions advanced through 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.

The names db2 and db3 are really internal to DB and the users should never 
know about them. Version 1.0.0 could presumably call the database format 
"db3" internally but the user's would see it as just "DB" in the application 
itself and would never know about it (which is good). "db2" could be seen as 
"DB before 0.3.0" in the dialogs.

Whatever you want is fine by me, but I am just someone who got annoyed when 
Solaris was renamed from 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 to 7 and 8. I guess I just like 
consistency in version numbers. :)

I had a problem like that once. It didn't occur while running
DB though. It happened when I was deleting a DB database
using a file manager application (I was one of those people
who didn't read the DB documentation properly and couldn't
figure out right away how to delete a database within DB itself ;-)

The Palm seemed to be stuck in the deletion and didn't come
back for several minutes. I finally grew impations and did a soft
reset. Then all hell broke lose and I got the flashing screen
situation you are describing. The only way out was a hard reset :(

I'm not sure if that has anything to do with your problem, but
I guess that this kind of behaviour is pretty uncommon, so
I thought I'd mention it.

Cheers,
	Oliver
