I don’t know much about Delphi / ClientDataSets but I’m willing to look into it. I have a question before I pursue it though, to determine if what I want to achieve is feasible.
I want to use a PHP script to save a dozen subsets of my MYSQL database to CDS files once weekly. Is there a File specification that I can follow to create a CDS file? I’ll be running the script on a shared web host using Linux, so I don’t think running Delphi scripts on the server is viable.
Thanks!
There is a related question on Stackoverflow which includes a partial XSD:
Anyone that has a partial XSD that describes the METADATA section of Delphi TClientDataSet XML files?
You can use this XSD and an XML library to create XML files from your data which are compatible with TCLientDataSet, so they can be opened in a Delphi application.
I don’t know PHP XML libraries, but in many languages XML libraries are able to create mapping code based on the XSD, which then can be used to read and write XML files based on the schema definition.
