1. Include Database.e
Hi everyone
I'm new to Euphoria. I'm simply trying to open an eu.edb by running the
following code in the Ed:
Include database.e
i1 = db_open(s, i2) MYDATA.EDB
I get the following error message...Include has not been declared...
Why? Whats wrong
Can any one help before i start chewing my desk?
TIA

Try include instead of Include. Euphoria is case sensitive.

Hello, Serge and welcome. You seem to be the kind of person that like
to jump right in. While that's good in some situations, learning a new
programming language takes a little more time. Take some time to read
the documentation and looking at the example programs before trying to
venture out on your own. Trust me, it will save a lot of headaches in
the long run.
That said, Euphoria is a case-sensitive language. That means that
Include (capital I) is not the same as include (lowercase i). All
built-in statements and routines in Euphoria are lowercase, so that
should be some help. To open a database file, your program should look
like this:
include database.e -- all lowercase
atom err -- db_open() returns an error code. All variables must be
declared before use.
err = db_open("MYDATA.EDB",DB_LOCK_NO)
-- DB_LOCK_NO is allcaps, and is a constant declared in database.e
if err != DB_OK then -- check that it opened
puts(2, "Error opening database.")
end if
---------- End of program
I hope this gets you on your way.

It has crossed my mind many times that maybe non-programmer-type
people do not understand "case sensitive", after all, there is no hint about
upper case vs lower case in the dictionary i just looked it up in. Maybe this
should be spelled out in street language, maybe set to rap music?
