3 - A Database Example
The best way to learn the ebm database functions is to review all the SDK documentation on databases, as well as related source code. In line with that, the program for this column is going to be dissected, so as to get an idea of how to do simple database functions.When compiled and run, the sample program shows all the functions available, letting you do the following with button presses:
- Open an old database, or create one if non-existent.
- Add data records to the database.
- Review records.
- Edit and save the current record.
- Delete the current record.
- Close the database.
This covers most of the functions you will
need in general database management. In addition,
the functions are written to be generic to make
them easier to move into other programs.
