That appears to be the case, although we were stratching our heads over
this.
 
cheers

Well that answers my previous email; does that mean that you have to
pass in the selection parameters from the previous screen ?

Thnx for the tips, we now have it working.  We had to force a retrieval

in the initialize procedure in order to get the proper values, the auto

retrieval didn't work. 

cheers

How about adding something like 'where (productid >= :tnum)' to your

cursor and add syntax to prompt for tnum, either via the access

statement, in the postpath proc, or ammend the path proc...

Although we now don't get the error, we can't get a drop down to work

properly using subsitution.  Only if we hard code the selection from the

table does it work.   How do we get a run time selection to work in PH

web using cursors?


Thnx

I have the note below but can't recall where it came from originally,


By specifying RDB/VMS versus RDB as the relational type, you specify how

the database is accessed and what PowerHouse capabilities are available.

Using RDB/VMS, the database is accessed via the native API, while RDB

specifies an SQL interface using the PowerHouse data access layer.

RDB/VMS is essentially the same interface and feature set as in

PowerHouse 7.10. Using RDB allows you to use SQL statements and

SQL-related syntax such as the DECLARE CURSOR and CURSOR statements and

the SQL-related verbs. Since the two interfaces are quite different,

there will likely be performance differences, however which will be

faster is situation dependant.

Hi all.  We are operating on Alpha servers with OpenVMS, v8.2, PH

v840d1, using PH Web as an interface.    We encountered an error when

attempting to use the SQL - declare cursor command:

Ie:  sql in <database> declare <name> cursor for select * from

<table>....

*E* The database 'SFAS_DATABASE' is the wrong type.

Our database type is "RDB/VMS", which is the preferred type as I

understood.  However, when I changed the type back to just plain old

"RDB", the error went away.  

Is this on purpose, or is the "RDB/VMS" type just missing from the error

check?

Cheers
