File attachments can be made to appear as binary fields. This is accomplished using a connection string parameter

FILE=BINARY;

You can download and upload file attachments using the binary field. Unfortunately you cannot specify the filename when uploading a file attachment. The file is given the filename:

FileAttachment.fid

where fid is the field identifier of the file attachment field. Also on download the file attachment's filename is not stored anywhere in the field. However one can create a formula text field whose formula is simply:

ToText([File Attachment Field Name])

This will evaluate to the file attachment's file name.

Also the TOP keyword would override the setting of SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS and persist across statements on the same statement handle. Now SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS can be set independently of the TOP value in a select statement. The lower value wins. Only the SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS setting persists between statements on the same statement handle.

Also fixed a small defect that manifiested itself in version 3.08.01.42 on SELECT statements returning a file attachment field. The column to the left of the file attachment field returned nulls when there was data.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
