Archived Reports in a Database

rbuser

How would you save archived reports directly to a database table such as
done with with report templates?

Do you have to save the archive report to a .raf file and then save to a
binary field in a second step? If so, how would someone accomplish this?

Or are there report settings that allow the archive to save to a binary
field?

Thanks

Tech Tip: Loading an Archive File to a Blob
(or memory stream)
---------------------------------------------------

You can easily write a routine to take a .RAF file and
load it into a blob field or a TMemoryStream:

myFileStream := TFileStream.Create('myArhcive.RAF', fmOpenRead);

myFileStream.Position := 0;
myBlobField.LoadFromStream(myFileStream);

myFileStream.Free;


OR

myMemoryStream := TMemoryStream.Create;

{note: passing 0 as the second parameter will copy the entire stream}
myMemoryStream.CopyFrom(myFileStream, 0);

myMemoryStream.Free;
