The SQL Connector is a Base Filing System (BFS), not a Modified Filing System (MFS) that is currently part of the Client/Server Workspace of OpenInsight. In the past SQL data was only accessible to the Form Designer via the C/S Workspace. With the SQL Connector, SQL tables are now seen as native tables to all components of OpenInsight including forms, reports, popups and stored procedures.
Within each of these components, opens, reads, writes, locks, unlocks and selects all work the same.
The SQL Connector works with the SQL statement that is placed in a dataset. This means that you can bind to tables, use views and multi-table SQL selects. The SQL Connector will point at a dataset and it will create OpenInsight F-type fields for each column in the dataset. Developers can add symbolics, including Xlates to other SQL based tables.
The SQL Connector also utilizes ADO record sets which eliminates the need for developers to deploy ODBC connections to client workstations.

Did you know...
That you can change the look and feel of your OpenInsight application by setting window gradients for the background color and style of a window.
Gradients my be set programmatically using the GRADIENTSTYLE and BACKCOLOR properties of a window. They can also be set in the Form Designer by opening the Windows Properties dialog and clicking on the Gradient button located on the right hand side of the dialog box.
The Gradient Definition dialog box contains a drop down list of available Gradient Types. The available types are: "None", "Vertical", "Horizontal", "Ellipse", "Pyramid" and "Mountain". When a type other than "None" is selected, the "Grade To Color..." button is enabled. Clicking the button will display the Choosecolor dialog box. Once the Grade to Color is set, click the OK button. The settings will be stored on the OpenInsight form. |
