Open DBF file in "parallel mode"? (without cloning) about php-xbase HOT 7 CLOSED

The "clone" approach was made for safety purposes, it allows user to rollback changes in file. If you need this, then I can make a "realtime" approach, which you can set in constructor options.

Would be great if this could be solved in realtime.

Thanks

I'm also interested in this realtime edit mode... it should be faster that writing the whole file again just to add one new record for example.

In my application I also need a stream returned for downloading, so probably I'll bake something and open a PR if welcomed.

Thank you for your work!

@razvanphp PR is no needed, I'll do it at the week.

Use 1.3.2 with code below

$tableWrite = new WritableTable(
    'file.dbf', 
    [
        'encoding' => 'cp866',
        'editMode' => WritableTable::EDIT_MODE_REALTIME,
    ]
);
// do edits
$tableWrite->close();

waiting for your feedback

Thanks, works perfectly :-)

I could change a DBF file that was opened by several Foxpro applications (via Windows/CIFS) at the same time and no error occurred.

One more question:
After an $table->writeRecord(); all 3-digit decimal numbers become 2-digit. And this not only for fields I changed, but also for existing fields.

Is there a solution for this? It is a FoxPro-DBF, field type is numeric 10, 3.

Thanks

@DierteK please open a new issue for "10, 3"
