Hello.
I'm playing with db 0.3.4 beta 5. Here are my feedbacks.
(Sorry Marc, I didn't have time to play with db-tools,
it's a hard time for me work).
(Palm Vx)
2 parts : NORMAL OPERATIONS and SCRIPTING AND CALCULATED FIELDS
NORMAL OPERATIONS
o db light still chrashes while opening a database, just
after displaying the about box.
o the "about" box at each db openning is very borring :-)
Ok, I played it kind and installed plugin.prc. Deleted it :-)
o I saw the last record bug. You can't access it but it's
correctly diplayed on screen.
o Still can't see the "linked" type value until the second
modification of the record.
o There's still the same problem with default values in
"integer" and "float" types : each time you assign them, you loose
the list views. You have to rebuild them from scratch.
o There's still a problem with the categories. I lost all
the categories informations. Categories are there but all databases
are in unfilled one.
o When database is openned in read-write (mode where you
have to tell you're gonna modify a rcord), you can't even select
a value to copy in the buffer without first getting in modify mode
(I think this is so since the beginning).
o Got a fatal exception when copying a database (DB type)
with data and design. Then the base is duplicated but doesn't
appear in the list. It reappears by rescanning databases. I
remembered the problem with caterories so I deleted the DBDatabases
file on the Palm. This way, I lost all categories. But the crash
still happened.
SCRIPTING AND CALCULATED FIELDS
o Something is strange with this part of the script doc. It
seems parameters fld and off are inverted...
ffr <fld> <off> [d] Field - 2 or 3 arguments, the first 2 of
From - which must be an integer. The first
Record argument is the record offset.
o I couldn't enter a long script like the one found in the doc,
something like :
(sort 2 1) (+ (? (seq (ffr 2 -1 na) %2) (ffr 5 -1 0) 0) %6)
The input field dosn't scroll left when I get to the end of the
line.
Also I can cut'n paste from a db filed but I didn't found
how to paste when I cut from a memo. I tried the backslash quick
action access but it didn't paste anything.
o For testing purpose mainly, couldn't we have a parameter
to get automatic recalculations when we modify a script ?
Well, that's it. Perhaps more testing later.
Fab.
