RE: Include Database.e

Hi Serge,

Welcome to Euphoria!  May I suggest the obvious first step when working 
with anything unfamiliar... Read The Manual!

Here's what's wrong with your program...

1.  Euphoria is case sensitive.  "include" (all lowercase) is a special 
top-level statement.  "Include" (with capital 'I') is interpreted as an 
undeclared object or constant and this explains your error message.

2.  Once you fix that, you'll get a similar error about i1 not being 
declared.  In Euphoria, all variables must be declared before 
assignment.

3.  Read the documentation on the Euphoria Database System for proper 
usage of the function db_open().

Here is a simple example of what you might be attempting to do:
-----------------------------
include database.e

integer i1

i1 = db_open("MYDATA.EDB",DB_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE)
-----------------------------

Once you've read the docs and understand the basics of programming in 
Euphoria please to come back with further questions. Everybody here is 
always happy to help.

Regards,
-- Brian
