First page shows
By adding log lines in the OpenReport routine showed the mistake causing the access violation. The routine should be called with the same context – actually the address where the initiated report is stored. Next problem turned out to be a wrong name: “PAGETITLE” was not found in the report. No wonder, I specified the wrong one. In changing the configuration file to contain the right report – behold: The pages shows up!
It’s only that no data is shown, but that seems to be rather normal if the datafile is empty. It’s also possible that getting the index record fails as well.
So next is to add data into these files – using a DCL procedure, to begin with. Perhaps I’ll write a tiny, Q’nD image that is as straight forward as possible. Just a simple input routine, and simple storage. Well, the routines do exist and can be used. In that case, I can (should) use Stephen’s recommendations.
On second thought: that might be the right way to go.
MySQL once more
Any time when an update comes along after some time (MySQL has been running for 2 weeks with just a few updates), the big one yesterday was stored – and MySQL_SERVER thought it time to crash again. I’m getting rather tired of this problem, and will update some time soon – there is not too many room at the moment.
SQLite
Someones is porting SQLite to VMS – something I abandoned a few months ago. Would I have looked deeper into the issue, I might have foun there is an os_vms.c file already available. Old, but very usable. It seems the big locking problem has been solved by the latest CRTL library routines – flck seems to be available on OpenVMS 8.3, and working. Jean-Francois Pieronne – Mr MySQL/Python/MoinMoin – did some re-code for some routines and theer shouldn’t be any problem now. How to integrate this with WordPress is probably not that easy – there will, no doubt, be a PHP extension but I don’t know if it can easily be ported. A Python one exists, and works.
But I can use it in my program. It’s FAST. It’s TINY. Just what I need on my small box.
Django
This is a Python framework for creating, well, articles and newspapers. Blogs, in other words. Google seems to use it as well as the framework for their applications.
Worth to try!
As usually, there is too much to be done in too little time 🙁
