Using a database
I have a PostgreSQL database on my machine created by an app I
purchased. I would like to read this database and extract some data the
app doesn’t provide, and create a report.
I’ve written a number of VB6 apps but haven’t the slightest clue where
to start with a database. I’ve been Googling and reading but everything
assumes a level of understanding far beyond mine.
I’ve found an interactive terminal in my start menu and even listed the
commands. But at this point I’m stumped.
How do I determine the names of the data fields, open it, and
sequentially read through it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
