Need help in restructuring paradox tables

Asked By Sutclifffe Sutcliffe 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/19/2013

I'm having a 'Temporary table resource limit' error when I add new fields in a 3 GB paradox database. 

How do I alter a field data type without losing data? 

Do I need a software for restructuring paradox tables in C++ builder language?

Thanks in advance.

Need help in restructuring paradox tables

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.
