Re: Database backup and restore in pg xbade++

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).

Re: Welcome to our dystopian future

This is not science fiction.
I wish it were so.

And it's just the beginning. The Orange President and The Crazy Billionaire will not only make this dystopia a reality, but will also cause substantial and irreparable damage to the entire world.

Re: Roger and SOAP and HTTPClient() and Xb2NET

Yes, HttpClient can do that, but you have to create the SOAP envelope by yourself. If you POST that (and it's correct), it will work. This (still) is easier with Xb2.Net, and Roger created that sample years before HttpClient came up.

Re: SQL STATEMENT WORKS WITH ADS BUT NOT PG

Mmh. Maybe it works if you copy this into your browser address row: neon.tech/postgresql/postgresql-date-functions/postgresql-date_part

Re: How can you activate the xbeM_Wheel in a DCDIALOG

Hi, Nolberto. If you want to deal with wheel events besides what's happening automatically (scroll bars, tables), catch "xbeM_Wheel" in a custom handler (use HANDLER or HANDLERBLOCK, look at the docs for DCREADGUI) and find out whether the mouse pointer is above the control you want to behave depend...

Re: The world in crisis

we can all have our own opinion on it It's okay to have an opinion about circumstances that aren't facts, but it's not okay to present facts as opinions. Unfortunately, that's exactly what's in fashion right now. When Macron was talking to The Orange President and corrected him, T.O.P. replied: "If...

Re: The world in crisis

If you have two sons, and they start fighting That's a miserable comparison. Russia and the Ukraine are no "sons that started fighting". Russia started trying to kill the Ukraine.
