Re: Include Database.e

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.

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
