Is there a way to generate a listing of some/all of the "field descriptors"
for an ACCESS table?
I am a SAS user and am looking for something like SAS's proc CONTENTS which
generates a basic "data dictionary" on a SAS dataset.
Is there something like this 'built into' MS-ACCESS?
Thanks.

Kenneth,
There is the Database Documenter tool which generates an .rtf document that
is nice looking but of limited use. I ended up rolling one of my own for
Charles Schwab.

Hi guys,
for a while now, we've been flirting with the idea of having a single
component in our app that handles all the plumbing for our Db calls (
creating connections, Commands & Parametes etc. ) through an xml definition
of each Db call.
For instance, a call to a Stored Procedure would be described like this:

Hi all,
I made a question several days before to describe my strange trouble of
mysqldump. But I still can't figour it out. Well, I just want to ask
another question whether I could just backup my databases by copying
the data folder to some place? Then if I meet some disaster, could I
just copy the backup folder back to recover my databases?
Thank you.

Hi all,
Recently I've been working with .netTiers, and in my opinion,
it's not very flexible.
I mean, to do a join query, i had to create a view, generate with codesmith
and compile.
So, is .netTiers typed data access so much better than using .net data
classes?
Thanks,
Sharon.

I have a web based form, and I need to run some SQL before submit, which

This should be quite simple but my brains are being seriously racked. I have created a data access page as the report I want to generate is 4 pages (too long for a regular report).

I have edited it both in Access and Frontpage by editing the actual html document. I have...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
