Of course, Mike will tell you that the place for programming tips is in our [b]Knowledge Base[/b]., , , , But then, if we start moving topics around, it could make the board members go away again., , , , Then I could go back to my Rip Van Winkle impersonation., , , , Zzzzzz....

Hi, , Can someone show me how to change the font properties of a single cell in a StringGrid?, e.g. to make the text in that cell bold or a different color from the rest of the StringGrid., , Thanks, Merlin

Well, using [b]SQL Explorer[/b], I get the same problem. I don't think that the InterBase driver for SQL Explorer has the ability to interpret SUBSTRING., , , , Since we're running IB6 with no UDF's, I also get the error that SUBSTRING is not a recognized function., , , , What happens when you try to create and execute the stored proc in the InterBase IBConsole's Interactive SQL tool? That's the tool you should be using.

how do we use substring is stored proc using variables. substring will only work with table columns., ex. variable1 = 'borland', how do we get 'land' from borland?, , need help... thanks.

This is a common newbie predicament in InterBase SQL. Any function that you can execute on a TABLE column can be executed on a local variable...the trick is in the SELECT statement., , , , For instance, this statement between a VARCHAR variable and an INTEGER column in a table:, , SELECT vsPRODUCT = CAST(Product_ID AS VARYING CHARACTER) FROM PRODUCTS , , ...can be reversed to assign the value to an integer variable like this:, , SELECT viPRODID = CAST(vsPRODUCT AS INTEGER) FROM RDB$DATABASE , , Notice the difference. When working strictly with local variables, use a SELECT statement with RDB$DATABASE in the FROM clause.

[QUOTE] Dice currently has 384 C# jobs and only 64 Delphi jobs [/QUOTE], , And I would take that number with a grain of salt. You have to wonder how many of those Delphi postings are multiple submissions for the same job opening... , , , , I remember last year when there were 14 Dice postings for the [i]same[/i] job opening at NEC here in Sacramento., , , , So, there are probably [i]fewer[/i] Delphi openings than the Dice search indicates., , , , I would agree that it seems that that companies are catching [b]C#[/b] fever.

I have problems when I try to link to Oracle table. I get an error message "Invalid field definition 'Field Name ' in defnition of index or relationship"., The table I am trying to link to is really big. It has around 260 columns Could that cause a problem ? , Thanks for your help.

Moved from "Member Introductions"..., ,

, , The error message indicates that you have a [b]foreign key[/b] error, so you will find the problem in the foreign key definition., , , , If you have the metadata handy, check for column or table aliases. Sometimes the syntax of quotes around column aliases is OK for Oracle's interpreter, but when the metadata is exported to a development tool (VB??? Delphi??? Paradox???), the syntax is invalid in that tool., , , , If you included the source of the foreign key definitions on that table, we could probably provide you a better answer.
