C-ISAM Tools

[Tim O'Shea]

Does anyone know where i can get some tools to maintain C-ISAM tables?

I'm looking specifically for something to audit changes to specific columns
and tables. I need a tool to write a before image and an after image,
timestamp, and the user ID who made the change.

Any advice on where to get C-ISAM tools would be gratefully received.

Thanks.

Somewhere out there is a package called D-ISAM which is a C-ISAM
clone (I think it can even access C-ISAM files); I'm not sure,
but I think you can get the source code for a reasonable price.

(I saw this about 11 years ago when working inside of Thoroughbred
BASIC's interpreter, adding C-ISAM capability. YMMV.)

Oh, so you want to add an audit file to your table.
isaudit() is the C-ISAM function. You might even be able to do
it in SE directly (CREATE AUDIT?) -- it's a long time since I looked
at the manual for it. A transaction log provides more general
information for all files.
