How are Miva programmers accomplishing database relations using dBase3 databases?
Mostly, we don't :^) . SQL is sooooo much easier to use.
A while ago, I had to do a "downgrade" project, where a user of MM4 wanted me to write them a custom search module, similar to one I had already written for MM5 using SQL. Writing code to emulate the SELECT query across multiple tables turned out to be kind of complex. Since there's no JOIN operation, I basically had to create a loop on the first table, then have it do MvFINDs for the other tables one at a time. It took a lot more code than a SELECT, but conceptually it wasn't too bad.
