Nicer way to access field

Hiya, (me again :) )

I am using in my C function the field names of a row. The way I am
currently pulling out this info is with:

idfield=strdup( trigdata->tg_relation->rd_att->attrs[0]->attname.data );

(this line should just pull out the name of the 1st field in a row).

I am guessing that this structure may (or may have already) changed as
development goes on. So I am wondering is there a nicer way that I
could access the fieldnames from within a C function that will be future
compatible?

Thanks again.

Hi, I wonder if i can make this nicer: In my case a list is created from a bill which is a tab seperated file and each line looks like this: "Verbindungen Deutsche Telekom vom 03.08.2005 bis 10.08.2005" "ISDN" "Deutsche Telekom AG" "Rufnummer" "123456789" "3" "Verbindungen zu T-Mobile AktivPlus xxl sunday" "19483" "19" "0,1719" "3,27" "16"

I use an Access database to basically take data exports, import them, manipulate the data, and then turn them into exportable reports. I do this using numerous macros, and queries to get the data in the format that I need it in order to create the reports that we use.

Hello, We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to do some major changes and, in the process, are questionning/validating the use of MS Access as front-end. The application is relatively big: around 200 tables, 200 forms and sub-forms, 150 queries and 150 repports, 5GB of data (SQL Server 2000), 40 users. I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other that it's not...

The more data you include in your tables the more you will need to have indexes to search and sort that data. However, there is a balance between having enough indexes and too many. Too many indexes will slow down the speed of updates on your records. Access presets a number of Indexes for you. If you look in Tools ... Options under the Tables/Queries tab you will see that under "Auto Index on Import/Create" there is a list as follows: ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
