Raima Databases
Posted on 2004-04-07
Hi all,
I need to know how types like date, integers, floats and doubles are internaly kept in the Raima Data Manager Version 3.30
I am mainly interested in the floating point types float and double (or any other Raima types of this kind).
maybe someone can point me out to some documentation.
Many thanks,
Mafalda.

why should you care how the data is stored internally. That level of detail is generally irrelevant to the user application.

Well, I have a Raima database file without a data dictionary file and I need to extract the data.
I can see and extract small integers (like 0, 1, 2) and strings but I can't extract the decimal point numbers and larger integer numbers like 1050.
I know several floating point values (like 0.10, 0.12) and their suspected location but there is no way I can get it correctly from the file.
Also, the same number in different records appears to have a different representation . . .
I suspect that the value in the record is a pointer/address of the real location but again there is no clear pattern.
Maybe one of you have the knowledge of how these decimal point numbers (floats, doubles) and integers are kept inside the database ?
All the tools in the market rely on the existance of the .dbd (data dictionary) file.
I tried ITTIA and Birdstep tools but none prevail.
I am forced to write my own connectivity tools.
I have also an erlier version of a database which has a different structure (DAT files no dbd) and I asume that the internal representation of numbers there is the same.
Thanks again,
Mafalda
