Hi,
I try to port a BP7.0-program (DOS-Realmode) that uses the TUR5BTRV.PAS as interface to Btrieve (exactly the pervasive sql 2000 used as btrieve engine). When I compile it with FPC I get a btrieve-error 11370, which is not described in the list of errornumbers from btrieve. Has anyone another interface for FPC and btrieve ? (Compiled with BP there is no problem.)

BTW: Is there a possibility to download the complete maillist-archiv for import in a mail-client ?

Thanks,

Michael

Hello!

Is there any solution to access a PostgreSQL database from a freepascal program? Has anyone a unit? Or is there another programming language to do it?

Thanks.

Yes, and afaik the generic FCL database stuff also can use them. (though the generic parts are not fully stress tested yet)

Hi Michael,
what you are doing should work. If you can access the engine (locally or remote)
make sure that requester is loaded AND using the correct protokoll. This is where I have experienced the more troulbe. Test the connection with the "butil.exe" or the other Pervasive utilities before blaming your own interface!

I'm including my own units to give you another interface to work with! I use this btrieve-unit sucessfully with Borland Pascal 7.0 (dos and Windows) and
Free Pascal in Linux. Yes a btrieve and P-SQL Database-Server on a linux machine.

It's not always well documented and you will have to work through some of the stuff
yourself. I can offer more help if any one wants it. Use at your own risk and so forth.....

low level interface: http://www.yukonho.de/~becker/btrv/btrvtpu.pas hi're level Objects: http://www.yukonho.de/~becker/btrv/datab.pas the butil utility : http://www.yukonho.de/~becker/btrv/butils.pas

let me know if these are of any help!

my best regards,

What is FCL stuff, and where I can get that? Are there any samples?

Classes library include with FPC. You already have it (look in your units directory, there is probably a file or dir somewhere postgres, like wise for FCL)

There are some tests that could be taken as examples in the sources, see e.g. fcl/db/tests

Hi,

I've checked, but there ISN'T any postgres related file in the DOS version of freepascal. In the linux version I've used this unit, but I can't guess how to use under DOS!

I don't think that postgresql can be accessed from under DOS. As far as I know, it only works under Windows and Linux, maybe OS/2.

Michael.
