Professor Kill asked if it was possible to use the BlitzData DLL (http://www.blitzcoder.com/cgi-bin/showcase/showcase_showentry.pl?id=kanati886902282004191346&comments=no) in PB, s I wrote a wrapper for it.
BlitzData allows you to access different sorts of databases (Access, MS SQL, Oracle or any other database with MDAC drivers)
It's not entirely tested, so be careful. :)
Download (http://members.lycos.co.uk/sotmailings/stuff/bdwrap.htm)
Make sure you call Init_BlitzData(PathAndFileName$) before you use the functions and Free_BlitzData() at the end of your app.
Example (if the DLL is in the project's folder)
Init_BlitzData("BlitzData.DLL")
// other stuff here
Free_BlitzData()
Hi there,
Is this blitzdata wrapper somewhere available? (the link is dead). I'm really interested in connecting to a database from within playbasic.
thanx!
Andrik
unlikely.
But the original Dll can be found here (http://www.radioactivegamer.com/)
Attached is the BlitzData function declarations converted to PlayBasic.
The BlitzData DLL can be downloaded here (http://www.radioactivegamer.com/).
