The different types of browse available in SQL

SQL functions: Special case

Managing tabulations in the items

Depending on the type of browse implemented with the SQL functions, the management of the tabulations in the items will differ:


	Type of browse: SQLFirst/SQLCol	Type of browse: SQLFetch/SQLGetCol
Management of tabulations	This type of browse cannot be used to retrieve the tabulations found in the values of records. A tabulation separates two items. Only the part found before the tabulation will be retrieved by the read functions. See the help about SQLCol and SQLAssociate for more details.	This type of browse can be used to retrieve the tabulations found in the values of records. See the help about SQLGetCol for more details.
Example	ResExec = SQLExec("SELECT CUSTNAME " + ... "FROM INV", "QRY1") IF ResExec=True THEN SQLFirst("QRY1") // Transfer the name into // LIST_NAME WHILE NOT SQL.Out ListAdd(LIST_NAME, ... SQLCol("QRY1" ,1)) SQLNext("QRY1") END ELSE // ProcessError END SQLClose("QRY1")	i is int = 0 SQLExec("SELECT LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME," + ... "EXTENSION,PHOTO FROM CUSTOMER", ... "QRY1" ) // Retrieve the query row by row WHILE SQLFetch("QRY1") = 0 // There is still another line i++ // Retrieve the data LASTNAME[i] = SQLGetCol("QRY1", 1) FIRSTNAME[i] = SQLGetCol("QRY1", 2) EXTENSION[i] = SQLGetCol("QRY1", 3) {"IMAGE" +i} = ... SQLGetMemo("QRY1", 4) END SQLClose("QRY1")

See Types of SQL browse for more details.

Managing Float during an Oracle access via ODBC

Retrieving Float items on Oracle (via ODBC)

By default, the decimal separator used for the Float items on Oracle is the dot. However, the ODBC driver returns the value by using the comma as decimal separator. The decimal places are lost when the value is assigned to a numeric control.

To avoid this problem, you must configure the decimal separator for the current connection:

// Connection to the Oracle database
SQLConnect("MyOracleDatabase", "User", "Pass", "", "ODBC")
// Request for changing the decimal separator
SQLExec("ALTER SESSION SET NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ='. '", "TempQry")
