dbPowerPac is for DELPHI DEVELOPERS. dbPowerPac is for STANDARD (Paradox) data base files. dbPowerPac is FREEWARE. dbPowerPac contains the following applications: - dbFile.exe Usage: Copy the EXE to a standard data base directory. Start app. Select table of interest by clicking the table list. You can modify the table contents and examine the table structure. You may also change to a different data base directory. By selecting all tables in a directory one by one, you can easily document the table structure in some data base directory. Source code may be available upon request. - dbUpdate.exe Usage: This is a very powerful tool, but it must be used with care. Have you modified your table structure during development and want to upgrade old "production" data base to you new table structure? dbUpdate.exe can do it for you. Create a NEW directory with the new table structure, preferably empty tables (otherwise you must use the empty function in dbUpdate). Start dbUpdate application. Select the new directory with new data base structure into the specification data base field. Select old database directory for data base directory to be updated. Push 'Analysis'. If analysis is successful, you can continue with your data base update by pressing 'Update'. The dbUpdate does not work on tables with memo fields, neither does it check if memo fields exist. Source code may be available upon request.
