Hello --
I'm using the 5/9 development release and have found a couple problems
that may or may not be my fault:
1. If I construct a model like this:
?Dog BelongsTo Text
DogHouse Text #Yard
?Yard Frontyard
Backyard
InTheGarden
and then try to import an .ace file like this:
Dog : Rufus
DogHouse "Deluxe" Frontyard
I get an error claiming Frontyard doesn't exist in the model. When I
create a Dog object through the edit menu and then choose to update it,
the constructed type shows up as "DogHouse Text #SomeOtherClass"! If I
open the "Model" class and examine the "Dog" model, I see "DogHouse Text
#Yard". So I think there's a problem in the way ace is parsing the
models for creating objects. Ideas?
2. In the last newsletter, there was mention that indexing in ace 5 was
a little screwy so that queries wouldn't work correctly unless the
database was re-indexed. I've had this problem with AQL -- the objects
returned meet the query criteria, but the data from tags isn't right ie.
in a database with lots of "Dog" objects, "Rufus" might correctly
returned, but Rufus->BelongsTo column often shows data that isn't
connected to "Rufus". Even when I choose "read models and reindex" the
problem remains. Is there another way to re-index, or should I wait
until the next release?
3. When I try to go to www.acedb2000.bcgsc.bc.ca to see what I've
missed, my browser can't find the server. Is this the correct URL?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Carson
