Hi all

I am writing an application that will update the structure for mone release to the next.

I plan to include a file with the upgrade info in, the application will check the release of the database it is about to upgrade by looking in a release table, if all is ok it will run the DDL/SQL to modify the tables / procedures etc.

My problem is I am not sure of the syntax

I have been trying to create a dummy procedure as a test, I extracted the DDL using workbench.
I have tried both an IB_DSQL and an IB_Query but I am obviously doing something major wrong.

Could somebody point me in the right direction.
After this I want to modify existing stored procedures and tables.

Rgds

My delphi code using an IB_Query is

with IB_Query1 do
begin
sql.LoadFromFile('sql\update2-3.sql');
If not prepared then Prepare;
ExecSQL;
close;
end;

or using an IB_DSQL

with IB_DSQL1 do
begin
sql.LoadFromFile('sql\update2-3.sql');
If not prepared then Prepare;
ExecSQL;
close;
end;


The DDL for the stored procedure is (saved in file update203.sql)

SET TERM ^^;
CREATE PROCEDURE P_DUMMY_SELL_PIN (
INDEX_ID Integer)
returns (
RETURN_VAL Integer)
AS
/*
Procedure:

Author : PJC
Date : 14/08/2003
Purpose : alter status of pin to sold
Params
------
<param> : INDEX_ID unique key-id to pin
*/
begin
/* code */
RETURN_VAL = 0;

IF (EXISTS ( SELECT ID FROM PINS WHERE ID = :INDEX_ID and STATUS = 1 )) THEN
BEGIN
UPDATE PINS SET
STATUS = 4,
STATUS_CHANGED = 'NOW'

WHERE ID = :INDEX_ID;
RETURN_VAL = :INDEX_ID;

END




end
^^
SET TERM; ^^
