I am using NSIS to install front/HSQL backend dbs.
The connection string of the original db is
jdbc:hsqldb:file:///C:\LDS\icms\database/icms;default_schema=true;shutdown=true;hsqldb.default_table_
The code setup of the split wizard normally adjust the path if the db is moved (Code as below)
Code: Select all
'setup Class Path
ClassPath:
sClassPath = sPath & "driver/hsqldb.jar"
If Not FileExists(sClassPath) Then
sLine1 = "Please add a copy of the HSQLDB engine (hsqldb.jar) to the current folder : "
sLine2 = "NOTE: This is necessary for proper wizard function, but additional benefits include : "
sLine3 = "* enhanced portability of the database-folder"
sLine4 = "* ensures database compatibility across computers and *Office installations"
sLine5 = "* guards against inadvertent upgrade of your database since the results are uncertain and irreversible"
sLine6 = "* hsqldb 2.x provides a built-in database management GUI accessible by clicking hsqldb.jar."
iButton = MsgBox (chr(13) & sLine1 & chr(13) & chr(13) & sPath & chr(13) & chr(13) & sLine2 & _
chr(13) & sLine3 & chr(13) & sLine4 & chr(13) & sLine5 & chr(13) & sLine6, 18, "hsqldb.jar not found")
If iButton = 3 Then Exit Sub 'ThisDatabaseDocument.close(True)
If iButton = 4 Then Goto ClassPath
End If
sClassPath = ConvertToURL(sClassPath)
ThisDatabaseDocument.DataSource.Settings.JavaDriverClassPath = sClassPath
'get the HSQL database name from the current folder
NextFile = Dir(sPath & "database/", 0)
While NextFile <> ""
If (Right(NextFile, 7) = ".script") Then dbName = (Left(NextFile, Len(NextFile)-7))
NextFile = Dir
Wend
If dbName = Empty Then
sLine1 = "Optionally provide a name for your back-end data files. "
sLine2 = "NOTE: The particular name is not important. The default below will suffice. "
dbName = InputBox(sLine1 & chr(13) & chr(13) & sLine2, "Create a new database * JDBC | HSQL database engine | non-embedded data files *", "mydb")
If dbName = "" Then dbName = "mydb"
End If
'check for existing database
sLine1 = "A new database will be created in the current folder: "
sLine2 = "NOTE: This folder with its ""database"" and ""driver"" subfolders constitutes your ""database folder."" "
sLine3 = "A dedicated 'database folder' is fully portable, and as such it may be renamed or moved as desired."
sLine4 = "NOTE: This Base front-end file (" & sName & ") must remain in this portable folder. "
sLine5 = "You may rename this file as desired, but do maintain the .odb extension if visible. Create a desktop shortcut to this file as desired."
sLine6 = "NOTE: The back-end HSQL data files will be named: " & dbName & ".* "
sLine7 = "These files will reside in the ""database"" subfolder."
If Not FileExists(sPath & "database/" & dbName & ".script") Then MsgBox sLine1 & chr(13)_
& sPath & chr(13) & chr(13) & sLine2 & sLine3 _
& chr(13) & chr(13) & sLine4 & sLine5 _
& chr(13) & chr(13) & sLine6 & sLine7 _
, 64, "Please Read"
'setup Data Source URL
sURL_prefix = "jdbc:hsqldb:"
sURL_args = ";default_schema=true;shutdown=true;hsqldb.default_table_type=cached;get_column_name=false"
sURL = sURL_prefix & "file:///" & sPath & "database/" & dbName & sURL_args
ThisDatabaseDocument.DataSource.URL = sURL
ThisDatabaseDocument.DataSource.Settings.JavaDriverClass = "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
ThisDatabaseDocument.DataSource.User = "SA"
How can I modify the setup code or change the connection string of the clone at runtime to use the correct backend as the original is still used for dvlp and bug fixes
Thank you
