 Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 2:01 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Data storage question... |
 |
|
Hello,
I want to build my own administration system in VDS (4.7) but I do not know how I can store all the data in an effective manner. Think about client information, project information, client-project-crosslinks, client-mail-crosslinks, project-documents-crosslinks, etc...
Can someone tell me how I can store the data most effective?
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi 
I think that you can use to store data :
- Simply a data list writed in a text file
- or you can use Xini.dll to create an INI file where put information
- or use vdsdll.dll to store data in a archive file like mdb, dbf |

Raymond,
Tdk is correct. You can use one of the VDS DLL's that support databases. The real question is how much data is involved. If the amount of data is small you can use the Windows Registry, INI files, or a delimited file using the List commands.

Thanks for the reply's
It's sounds to me that the VDS DLL can help me out with mdb-files. Than I want to change my question a little bit... How can I deal with the data in my VDS-application on the most effective manner? Almost any other language can use array's, VDS don't...
Imagine a list of 25 clients with all their data, like name, address, etc... How can VDS deal with it? Remember I'm still using VDS 4.7 (unfortunately)...
Thanks,
Raymond |

I will take a look at the VDS DLL as soon as I have the chance, but I do not understand (yet) how VDS can handle information retrieved with a query... Like, when I query all clients in the database (with their information), how can VDS handle this information? VDS then needs some support for multidimensional arrays, seems to me...
Please correct me if I'm wrong...
Thanks,
Raymond |
