Hi all,
as the subject says, I experience some strange errors when using
"revOpenDatabase" in MetaCard.
All externals are correctly installed and do work!
...
revdb.bundle
dbsqlite.bundle
dbmysql.bundle
...
I am currently through the "SQL Lite sampler.rev".
Works great in Rev and MC.
But when I want to open/create a database in a folder with Umlauts in
its name, the scripts in that stack
fail when run in MC but work when run in Rev!???
I use:
...
put revopendatabase("sqlite","/Applications/MetaCard X/iDual/sql
für KLaus/bankleitzahlen.db",,,,,,) into db_conn
### sql FÜR Klaus
...
works fine in Rev, but in MC I get (SAME stack!):
Database Error: Unable to open the database file
When I remove the umlaut/rename that folder, all is fine:
...
put revopendatabase("sqlite","/Applications/MetaCard X/iDual/sql
fuer KLaus/bankleitzahlen.db",,,,,,) into db_conn
### sql FUER Klaus
...
I currently workaround this by setting the directory first:
...
put the folder into old_dir
set the folder to "/Applications/MetaCard X/iDual/sql für KLaus/"
put revopendatabase("sqlite","bankleitzahlen.db",,,,,,) into db_conn
set the folder to old_dir
...
No problems in that case!!!
Is there anything that I am overlooking/missing?
Any hints are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
