Dear Masters,

REef. to this :

Code: Select all

*******************************************************************************
* MySql Harbour Contribution Library 
*******************************************************************************

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASS TMySQLRow: Every single row of an answer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	DATA  aRow		

		A single row of answer

	DATA  aDirty		

		Array of booleans set to .T. if corresponding field of aRow has
		been changed

	DATA  aOldValue		

		If aDirty[n] is .T. aOldValue[n] keeps a copy of changed value 
		if aRow[n] is part of a primary	key

	DATA  aOriValue		

		Original values ( same as TMySQLtable:aOldValue )

	DATA  aFieldStruct	

		Type of each field

	DATA  cTable		

		Name of table containing this row, empty if TMySQLQuery returned
		this row

	METHOD	New(aRow, aFStruct, cTableName)

		Create a new Row object

	METHOD   FieldGet(cnField)

		Same as clipper ones, but FieldGet() and FieldPut() accept a 
		string as

	METHOD   FieldPut(cnField, Value)

		Field identifier, not only a number

	METHOD   FieldName(nNum)

	METHOD   FieldPos(cFieldName)

	METHOD   FieldLen(nNum)

		Length of field N

	METHOD   FieldDec(nNum)

		How many decimals in field N

	METHOD   FieldType(nNum)

		Clipper type of field N

	METHOD   MakePrimaryKeyWhere()

		Returns a WHERE x=y statement which uses primary key (if 
		available)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASS TMySQLQuery: Every single query submitted to MySQL server
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

		Number of rows available on answer NOTE MySQL is 0 based

	DATA  nCurRow

		I'm currently over row number

	DATA  lBof
	
	DATA  lEof

	DATA  lFieldAsData

		Use fields as object DATA. For compatibility
		Names of fields can match name of TMySQLQuery/Table DATAs,
		and it is dangerous. ::lFieldAsData:=.F. can fix it

	DATA  aRow

		Values of fields of current row

	DATA  nNumFields

		How many fields per row

	DATA  aFieldStruct

		Type of each field, a copy is here a copy inside each row

	DATA  lError

		.T. if last operation failed

	METHOD   New(nSocket, cQuery)

		New query object

	METHOD   Destroy()

	METHOD   End()

	METHOD   Refresh()

		ReExecutes the query (cQuery) so that changes to table are 
		visible

	METHOD   GetRow(nRow)

		Return Row n of answer

	METHOD   Skip(nRows)
		
		Same as clipper ones

	METHOD   Bof()

	METHOD   Eof()

	METHOD   RecNo()

	METHOD   LastRec()

	METHOD   GoTop()

	METHOD   GoBottom()

	METHOD   GoTO(nRow)

	METHOD   FCount()

	METHOD   NetErr()

		Returns .T. if something went wrong

	METHOD   Error()

		Returns textual description of last error and clears ::lError

	METHOD   FieldName(nNum)

	METHOD   FieldPos(cFieldName)
	
	METHOD   FieldGet(cnField)

	METHOD   FieldLen(nNum)

		Length of field N

	METHOD   FieldDec(nNum)

		How many decimals in field N

	METHOD   FieldType(nNum)
		
		Clipper type of field N

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASS TMySQLTable: A query without joins; Insert() e Delete() rows are allowed. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: it's always a SELECT result, so it will contain a full table only if
SELECT * FROM ... was issued

	DATA  cTable
	
		Name of table

	DATA  aOldValue

		Keeps a copy of old value

	METHOD   New(nSocket, cQuery, cTableName)

	METHOD   GetRow(nRow)

	METHOD   Skip(nRow)

	METHOD   GoTop()
	
	METHOD   GoBottom() 

	METHOD   GoTo(nRow)
	
	METHOD   Update(oRow, lOldRecord, lRefresh)

		Gets an oRow and updates changed fields

	METHOD   Save()

	METHOD   Delete(oRow, lOldRecord, lRefresh)

		Deletes passed row from table

	METHOD   Append(oRow, lRefresh)

		Inserts passed row into table
	
	METHOD   GetBlankRow( lSetValues )
		
		Returns an empty row with all available fields empty

	METHOD   SetBlankRow() 

		Compatibility

	METHOD   Blank()

	METHOD   FieldPut(cnField, Value)

		Field identifier, not only a number

   DATA  cDBName

	Selected DB

	DATA  cUser

		User accessing db

	DATA  cPassword
		His/her password

	DATA  lError

You can pass on the 'Describe...' query to the sql server the same way you are sending any other 'select...' query.
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.
