Syntax

Extracting a memo Hide the details

<Result> = HExtractMemo(<Data file> , <Memo item> [, <Destination file>])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the operation was performed,
False if a problem occurred. HError is used to identify the error.

<Data file>: Character string (with or without quotes)

Name of data file (query of view) used. If this name is not specified, HExtractMemo handles the last data file used by the last function for HFSQL management (starting with the letter H).

<Memo item>: Character string (with or without quotes)

Name of the item containing the binary memo to extract.

<Destination file>: Optional character string (with quotes)

Path and full name of the file where the content of the item must be saved. If this parameter is not specified, the binary memo is saved in its initial path and file. The creation date and the date of last modification of this file are restored.
This parameter is mandatory because the name of the source file is not saved in the OLE DB memos.
This parameter must necessarily be specified.

Managing memos in SQLite

Storing information in memo format is recommended for the data whose size is less than 1 MB. We advise you to directly save the data in external file format on the internal or external memory of the phone and to store the access path to this data in the database.
