I'm having a 'Temporary table resource limit' error when I add new fields in a 3 GB paradox database.Â
How do I alter a field data type without losing data?Â
Do I need a software for restructuring paradox tables in C++ builder language?
Thanks in advance.
Hello, You can work with Paradox 9 through Borland C++ Builder 2006. This is very useful.
You can create database tables through Borland C++ Builder 2006. The table format isn't the issue.
I suggest you a link from which you can know about Paradox 9 table schema.
Hope, this will help you.
Thanks.
There are many ways to alter field type data. Using a Paradox table, the data can be changed without losing enough data.
It can also be done by using a Borland utility that is also said Database Desktop.
Nothing is better than it for the development tools like Delphi as well as C++ builder.
The procedure is so much simpler. Its working is too much easy as it requires opening up.
DB file, select the restructure button, select the field data that you wish to alter, give space.
Then you will see a list. Alter the data to "Long Integer".
Your data will be in the original condition.
