Re: Dual Boot Lion for 4D test platform help

John, I found the following information pertaining to Snow Leopard at Apple Support Communities. Perhaps
something similar would work on Lion. 

"Doing a so-called 'clean' install means installing Snow Leopard from scratch on a freshly formatted
drive; in this case your SSD. I would assume your data, i.e., your Home folder would be put on the hard drive
rather than on the SSD to save disk space. That means you must configure OS X to use a Home folder located on
another drive other than the startup drive. This done in Accounts preferences. As for Applications, etc.
they can be installed on the hard drive rather than the SSD, then create an alias to the folder and put the
alias in place of the real Applications folder."

Best Regards,
Paul Ringsmuth

Re: A little bit of styled text

Yes. Depending on what selector I use when retrieving the data from the clipboard, I get nothing, the
unstyled text or a vast quantity of style definitions with a few bytes of text buried (I think) somewhere in it.

Hello,

I installed two 4D Server database on one server.
With 4D Client want to set a default database.
With tcp.opt I can do it. Where do I copy tcp.opt?

Have you considered html ?
What I'd try is :
Build some html like "Hello <b>world</b>"
Put it in a blob and append it to the pasteboard (append data to pasteboard) using "public.html" in macOs or
just "HTML" in windows.

Just a guess.

Re: Dropping a Table in V12

If I may extend on Josh's comment;

in general, Begin/End SQL with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE offers the easiest way to implement dynamic SQL.
one catch is that you can't embed local variables in the statement when compiled,
but otherwise it's a very powerful command.

yet, from a technical perspective,
SQL EXECUTE (the former native ODBC commands)
tends offer a superior solution.

first, you protect your code against injection.

with either command, the table names etc. are managed by string concatenation,
but normally you don't depend on user input for that piece of information so that's fine.

but suppose you let the user supply values to the WHERE clause,
well, a malicious use may deliberately include a semicolon in the value and start a new line of SQL code.

that can cause serious harm with Begin/End SQL.

with SQL EXECUTE you don't have to construct by string concatenation,
you have the option to use place holders ( ? ) and parameters instead,
which lets you guard the code from such attacks.

second, you have control over the result data set size.

using Begin/End SQL,
you could potentially end up creating an array with millions of elements.
which might have negative impact on performance.

Re: Copy Text From Non-enterable Variable

I think the magic combination is.

enterable + focusable.

note that focusable and "hide focus ring" refers to different aspects of the object.
focusable means that object will take away the focus from the current focus object.

for example, if a text object is being focused,
and a focusable button is clicked,
the text object will lose it focus and the On Losing Focus event will fire.
this is true even if "hide focus ring" is enabled.

in contrast, if a non-focusable button is clicked,
the text object will retain its focus and the event will not fire.

in both instances the button does not have a focus ring,
but the outcomes are different.

Re: Dual Boot Lion for 4D test platform help

Hi John,

first, you don't need to copy everything, just point the either Lion or Snow Leopard to your old home folder
using advanced option in Account system preferences preference pane (unlock the account pane,
right-click on the user and choose the path to your old home folder, then reboot). However, you have to be
careful not to run Mail (if you have POP accounts, if you have IMAP you can always delete the account and
recreate it in "other" system), iCal or AddressBook in Lion if you intend to continue using them in Snow
Leopard, Lion might convert their files making them unusable in older system.

Please find some answers below:

If 4D and the databases are within home folder and you still have permission issues, keep in mind that even of
you have user "john" under both systems, that is not the same "john" for Lion install as the "john" from Snow
Leo install. So you have to give proper permissions to both "johns" under Lion. Maybe it would be better to
create user with shortname other than "john" on Lion, that way you can see for which folder your user
doesn't have correct permissions.

I just realized that I only replied privately to Steve's last 
suggestion. For the record, this suggestion works.

Thanks again, Steve.

Re: Copy Text From Non-enterable Variable

Hi Miyako,

Yes, if enterable is off, but focusable is on it works.

Thanks.

Re: 4D (Mac OS) external SQL query

Thanks David--

That's correct; I was just trying some TS suggestions to try to get an external server to recognize 4D
variable values within a SELECT. SQL EXECUTE and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE both require building an extensive
text string, if you are trying to pull in records with 100+ columns.

I was trying to do it with Begin/End SQL originally.
