fDataDir (Function)

In french: fRepDonnées

Returns the full path of the directory of HFSQL data files specified by the user when installing the application.

Remark: This directory does not necessarily correspond to the real directory of the data files at runtime (which may have been modified with HSubstDir, HChangeDir, etc.).

Example

// Create a .INI file
INIDir is string
IF fDataDir() <> "" THEN
	INIDir = fDataDir() + ["\"] + "MYPROJET.INI"
ELSE
	INIDir = "MYPROJECT.INI"
END
INIWrite("SECTION", "ALREADYRUN", "YES", INIDir)

Syntax

<Result> = fDataDir()

<Result>: Character string

Full path (for example: "D:\DATA\Rewali") or UNC path (for example: "\\SERVER\DATA\Rewali") of the directory for the HFSQL data files.
Result of fExeDir if no directory was specified during the setup (in test mode and when running an executable without setup).

Remarks

The data directory can be specified during the setup

In the setup is performed via physical media, the directory of the data files is specified during the setup.
For a remote setup (FTP), the Internet provider supplies the home directory for the data files and the user supplies the name of the subdirectory in which the data files are installed.

Remark

fDataDir and fExeDir return the same value.
