update to 2.9? --

[william humphrey]

I re-installed RunRev from scratch. I tested SQLite using the demo stack and
found that it works fine. I tried the database query builder (using that
same test stack) and absolutely no joy. Why is the database query builder
included in RunRev if it cannot be made to work?
It is meant to be for ease of use?

I have tried every possible parameter of connection in the little database
query builder window (including those that work in earlier versions of
RunRev) and nothing works.

Has anybody else gotten database query builder to work in RunRev 2.9?

Perhaps there is a pref file somewhere that I need t delete?

This is really extremely frustrating especially when you consider that the
database query builder is meant to be for "ease of use".

I wish I had never ever used the database query builder in any of my stacks.
Now it looks like I should re-write everything ignoring that menace.
