Question:
How can I get the full filename (including path) of a local table?
Answer:
The following example was adapted from the BDE32.HLP file, located
in the Borland/CommonFiles/BDE directory:
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
uses DbiTypes, DbiProcs;
function fDbiFormFullName(Tbl: TTable): String;
var
Props: CurProps;
Buffer1 : array[0..DBIMAXPATHLEN] of char;
Buffer2 : array[0..DBIMAXPATHLEN] of char;
begin
Check(DbiGetCursorProps(Tbl.Handle,Props));
StrPCopy(Buffer1, Tbl.TableName);
Check(DbiFormFullName(Tbl.DBHandle,
@Buffer1,
Props.szTableType,
@Buffer2));
Result := StrPas(Buffer2);
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Memo1.Lines.Add(fDbiFormFullName(Table1));
end;
Notes:
Table_You_Are_Using.Active Must be True.
Works on Local Tables.
