 |
|
I am running a Delphi V4 application which uses the BDE to access Paradox
files.
After many months of successful operation I am now getting an error message.
Error 32 - Out of Disk Space
when the program attempts to load & display the largest of the Paradox
Files.
I can find no reference to this error in the Help files.
Can anyone tell me which component is generating the error message ?
So I can attempt to diagnose the problem
I have been unable to duplicate the error in my development environment.
Suffice to say there is plenty of disk space available for the application
(over 4.2 GB when I last looked)
regards
Philip

You may want to ask in b.p.d.database.desktop, that is the appropriate place
for Paradox-related questions.

It has been ages since i worked with Paradox/BDE databases, so i may be off
here: isn't there a "private" directory required where the BDE will create
temporary files for the user when executing queries etc.? This is a different
directory from where the database itself resides, and if it runs out of space
(or the app thinks it does because the path that directory is located at has
become invalid or read-only) that may result in the error you are getting.

THat may not be relevant if the database files or the directory mentioned
above are located on a different drive/net share.

Does Delphi 4 support large disk drives? Perhaps it is an integer
overflow or something, where D4 starts reporting large free disk space
amounts as negative numbers.

Say no to fixed width tables. They look terrible!

This is a known bug with the BDE (although it might have been fixed in
the latest version I can't remember offhand). Since it uses a 32 bit API
to check the free disk space and a 32 bit can store a maximum of 4GB
before wrapping around it makes 4GB look like 0GB. You can either delete
files to make space or, surprisingly, even add a few large files to
force the free space to say 3.9 GB which the API can handle.
You can always delete these large files later when the free space is
reduced enough.
