All, I have an xltp script that use to pull data from a gnu_database, but I have found that it is no longer doing so because the gdbm_open command is deprecated and I am told to use clsqlite_open instead. Unfortunately I cannot get this to work, anyone have any scripts that open a gdbm database with the clsqlite_open command?
Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,
You will need to migrate the database to sqlite and use the clsqlite_* commands in place of the gdbm_* commands.
There is an automated way to do this and it is described in detail in the 5.8.1.0 (and above) release notes. Look for the section titled

Can you run the gdbm commands directly from the hcitcl shell?
I have never used gdbm, but it looks fairly simple – and I’m very familiar with Sqlite.
I’d be willing to take a swing at converting your gdbm database if you’d like to send it to me – assuming it’s not too large and doesn’t contain patient data…

Sorry to bring up an older thread but i am in process of testing 6.0.1. Our current CL is 5.4.1. I am getting “orders500_xlatetpsGnuDbStore gdbm_open failed: The db may already be open in exclusive write mode!” errors.
Do i have to switch to the sqlite? We will no longer have a need for these databases in the future and was hoping to just keep them as is.
thank you.
