I faced the Idapi.cfg limitation
(see
Newsgroups: borland.public.bde
Subject: Idapi.cfg limitation
Message-ID: <4476a39b@ newsgroups.borland.com>
)
I am try to eliminate the number of aliases deleting some of them, but
I am geting the same error as trying to add a new one.
Is there any other way to edit this Idapi.cfg file or how can I edit
it by hand? Is there any info about it's format?
Thanks a lot

No it isn't. I know that I touch it's limit, that's why I asked help
for edit it "by hand" because I cannot even delete any alias.
The reason for so many alias is that we have for every company that
uses our programs we have a different bde alias so we catch the limit

Well you have your answer right there - reduce your aliases. I fail to
understand why you need a separate alias for each company unless this is
running on your own server or something. Regardless, you are not catering
for other applications that might also want to use the BDE and hence share
the cfg file, this is poor design.
Leslie.

if that *is* what you're doing, you can put all the companies in a table,
pick from the list or a menu at startup, and set the alias on-the-fly..

again.. the aliases don't have to be hard-coded in the BDE.. that is far too
many, as you have seen.. change the way you control it.. make it
table-based.. your person selects a company from a table or menu, and the
appropriate alias is set..

I think what Steven is suggesting is to create a form that allows you to
select alias configurtion information from a table and use "AddAlias" to
create the alias for the session, not store all of the aliases in the config
file.
