fill in some database records

[hedgehog]

Hi,

I'm completelly new with Progress and i've tried to create a database, I think all went well, but I can't find how i can put data in the database so I can use it in an application.

Is there a site/e-book in which the basics of working with Progress and programming in the 4GL are described?

thx a lot,

Hedgehog

Hello,

In the progress procedure editor you can do manually do an create and update from the records.

CREATE table-name.
UPDATE table-name with 1 col.

When you make an running program you should use:
CREATE table-name.
ASSIGN
table-name.field1 =
table-name.field2 =
...
RELEASE table-name.

Greetings.

Hi,

I think a better way to insert records is as below;
repeat:
insert <table-name> with 3 col.
end.

This will alllow you add as many records as you want in a table. The syntax is also simple since you need not know the field names and their data types.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Ajay.
