Hi John, A few ideas for you. You should issue a BEGIN statement right before your repeat statement and move your revCommitDatabase to right after the end repeat. Better performance and guarantees db integrity.
For some reason I don't understand, LC does not have a revxxx statement to issue a BEGIN so you will need to use revExecuteSQL gConID,"BEGIN" right before the repeat statement. Within the repeat, don't forget to check if revExecuteSQL resulted in any errors by checking "the result" right after it - it will be a numeric value if all worked OK, otherwise an error message. If an error occurs, issue a revRollBackDatabase command and exit the repeat. That will return your database to a consistent state before any of your INSERTs happened. I'm a little confused by your INSERT statement. You name 4 columns in the table but only supply 2 values, maybe tLine has comma separated values in it? If so, you will need to enclose each value in single quotes if they are not numeric. Also, if recID is the primary key, no need to include it in the list of columns to be updated or supply a value for it, SQL will take care of that for you. Hope that helps, On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 5:04 PM JB <sund...@pacifier.com> wrote: > I am using MySql on a local host and > creating a database then adding records. > After creating the table I was using the > handler below to add records.
