Hi- Just wanted to correct something. I got thinking at work why did I put a null terminating character at the end of the string constant named foo. The above initial post I made is wrong: It should look something like : char * p = "foo"; NOT char * p = "foo\0"; sorry. It didn't seem right at the time when I added that. I don't know why my mind was in a funk. It was already null terminated when I assiged the string constant. I agonized about this when I got thinking at work, and I was like people...

Hi- I sent the authors a quick message. I hope some day if they are not too busy they can update it to run with newer tools. I can find lots of stuff to do otherwise in case they can't get to it soon. thx.- J. McNamara

Hi- I tried to build ocesql. The most recent version I can find is ocesql 1.1. My cygwin environment won't let me ./configure make make install with that old of a version of libtool. I could only find one project on github. That is 1.0 from 2013. The link in the faq points to 1.1. ocesql. The latest I could find for a reference of an update is 2015. Even if they could rebuild with more recent tools without implementing new features that would be cool. It looks like using postgresql with ocesql is...

Hi- Hi all- I recently posted a thread or two about the C++ branch with soci and ultimate++ being possible ways to extend db in the future. That would require extra work for someone to build an interface, and I realize people already put cool contributions out there and that takes an inordinate amount of time. I kept searching for a way to get more advanced db access because I was unaware how powerful ocesql for postgres actually was until I read about it a second time. I didn't see the relationship...

Hi again, Simon/Martin- The next section in my book I haven't read yet talks exactly about my question. I will spend tonight reading and go from there. I need to pay careful attention to when to do the different file options when using the different scenarios. When I tried the extend command it kept the records from before. I passed low-value to the key and then the old records showed up with extend. I will hammer it out reading in my text book tonight. Thanks for the cool help! thx. - Jim

Hi Simon/Martin- I will try Martin's suggestion first and report back. I am working through thane hubbells book. I found that it helps to skip around a little as Martin is indicating. Tonight, I will do light coding and more emphasis on reading. thx. for the cool tips, J. McNamara
