extract "Create Tablle SQL" statement from a paradox table
I'm looking for a function like this
function ExtractCreateTabSQl ( aTable : TTable; var aSQLString : String);
{*
in
aTable : A Paradox Table
out
aSQLString : the string to create this table unsing the create table SQL
*}
begin
for I := 0 ...n
// loop through all field
// get Field Name
// get Field Type
// addd to SQL String
end;
end;
function ExtractCreateTabSQl ( aTable : TTable; var aSQLString : String);
{*
in
aTable : A Paradox Table
out
aSQLString : the string to create this table unsing the create table SQL
*}
begin
for I := 0 ...n
// loop through all field
