Just wondering if I have to implement an equals method for the urly bird

public boolean equals

I dont have a id key here do you reckon I create a id to identify the records or use a composite key ..

Hi Subu,

Where would you create this method? What are you trying to compare?

Regards, Andrew

Hi Andrew

I am trying to have a value object called hotel or what ever and have the equals method in it...But on second thoughts if I have a value object like that I am tying my design to accept the object inthis fashion which is a bad idea in case this db changes......
Trying to do something to the DVD class in Denny's DVD
Also on closer inspection of parsing my db I notice that the smoking option is blank when I print the price though it comes as Y/Nand the price
though if I put the field length to be 2 instead of 1 it parses fine.....
and I see a 'Y' or 'N'
Thanks
Subu

Have you taken into account that each record is preceded by the 1 byte deleted tag?

I had a similar problem whereby I was reading the deleted flag in the wrong place causing my data to be offset by one.

When I fixed this it parsed fine.

The most important thing is that there is a Database Scheme given in the db file. If you read the schema and make use of the information, you will be able to get the data correctly.
