Library: DL_Lib
Purpose: Provide additional formats to dump/load database tables.

WARNING: Do NOT USE any dump/load functions from this library
on this library. You will mangle the functions here.

Narative: The functions in this library are patterned after the
'stdlib' functions DumpText('table') and LoadText('table').
They provide dump and load formats that might be a bit easier
to use in converting to and from other databases.

Each different format has it's own folder. The folder itself
contains the documentation for that specific format.

Each format has at least two commands. One that ends in 'Put'.
The other ends in Get'. They take an argument that is a table
names sorounded in single of double quotes.

If you are dump'ing or load'ing a library make sure that it is
NOT in use. From LibView, under the file menu, choose Unuse
Library and from the drop down choose the library that you are
about to dump or load.

Installation:

1. Assuming you have downloaded the DL_Lib.zip file and extracted
in the directory containing suneido.db, run the following:

suneido -load DL_Lib

2. From LibView, under the File menu choose Use Library and enter:

DL_Lib

At that point the dump/load library is ready to go.


Additional Notes:

If you are a programmer do a 'Put' on a table and study
the format it produces. If you duplicate the format in a
conversion from another database you should be able to
convert your tables rather easily.

If no format in this library suits you, use the routines as a
pattern to create your own and consider giving them away to
other programmers so they can use it in their efforts.

If you decide to do this, follow the conventions started in this
library. Document your work in a similar (or better) manner and
upload the file back to www.suneido.com. In the contributions
web page you will find instructions on how to contribute.

Hope this helps the community at large.
Enjoy!
