Help DBKit Gods!
I have a field in a Sybase database that is a long int representing date&time
(result of time() function). Assuming I have an object or C functions that can
convert between this format and human-readable date and time formats, how can I:
(1) Create a DBTable view that will either:
(A) Display & edit both the date and time in separate columns, or else
if I can't split 1 Sybase field into 2 DBKit attributes, then I'd
settle for:
(B) Display & edit the date portion of the field
(2) Use 1 or 2 form objects to edit the human readable date and time
Obviously the data format needs to be converted from a longint to strings when
retrieving data from the database and back to a longint when putting the data
back.
Thanks, ...Michael Brill
