The PostGreSQL server is for free.

Hi, Joe. ADS has reached EoL twelve (!) years ago. Meanwhile, it's hard to buy licenses, and this may get harder. Modern operating systems are not officially supported, since they were not known when the development stopped. On the technology side, ADS is more than just outdated. It's technology fro...

This may work, yes.

If it's intended to change the server OS aswell (for security or feature reasons), creating and moving a virtualization may not be a good solution.

Hi, Fred. You may reuse the install files, and you need the license key. In case, there are still some guys somewhere in Ireland providing a kind of support. ADS installation is just nothing: Running the setup, adding the license key, selecting the language. That's it. Configurating the ADS.INI (if ...

I try this but get error. My suggestion was not : Go and create a dump and save this using a SQL-command. This won't work, as k-insis mentioned. My suggestion was to retrieve the name and path of the physical files using an SQL-statement (like the one I showed) and create a backup by copying those ...

Joe, there is no sample solution. Using the C-API for stuff like that is a little complicated . You need to know how to program in C+/++. You need to install a C-compiler, create the code (where ChatGPT may help you with) and use it with "EXTERN" in your application. You need to integrate the contro...

this CODE is working under Fivewin/harbour, but NOT under Xbase++

So it is useless.

Hi, Joe.

I need to use runshell ??

No. That is a valid (PG-)SQL statement. Depending on how you connect to the PG server from inside your application, you may just send this statement to the server and analyze the result.

Those limitations are easy to handle. And I didn't say that this is best practice; it's just a way to create a backup. You don't need to have an active connection to your server to do that. Besides, the statement can be used from inside an Xbase++-application (same with dump, I know).
