Jason,
I have a feature request if it seems feasable.
I use the IB_Connection.DefaultValues string list extensively in my
programs. First of all, its a great idea for centering all the
formats in one place!
I find myself using the same format over and over with different
field names (INVOICE_DATE=YYYY-MM-DD, ETA_DATE=YYYY-MM-DD etc. ), so
I thought it might be useful if we could also specify generic data
types like:
DATE=YYYY-MM-DD
NUMERIC(18,3)=,0.000
This way all DATES get formatted the same way, unless they are
overridden with a more specific field specifier.
I wanted to store this StringList in the database so the user can
customize the format appearance and this would make it much easier
for them to understand.
Let me know what you think.
Rick
