Re: Deeper into the Data
Hi Steve,
Interbase comes with a dll library that allows access to the DB server. You
need to look at the header file(s) "*.h" that define the routines for this
dll.
Then you have to write wrappers in Euphoria for each function that you want
to use from Euphoria.
First you have to open the dll library with a "dll_open" Euphoria command,
then link each function or procedure you wish to use with "define_c_func" or
"define_c_proc" Euphoria commands.
Then when you want to use the functions / procedures from the dll use
"call_proc" or "call_func" Euphoria commands.
You will also need to understand how to pass/receive Euphoria data to "C"
data structures.
Check out the library.doc doco that comes with Euphoria and read all about
the above commands. Then check out any of the programs at the archive or
recent user contributions that use external libraries. Win32lib as an
example.
Once you have done all that and you have any questions just ask again!
