Hi, in pre 5.0 Ebase I would simply find all the references from a database connection.
How do I find all resources using 'x' database connection?
Thanks

Thanks Jon,
For anyone needing to do this you'll need to add .eb files to the indexing options to index properties and file content.

We don't have some of our workspaces on our local PC but I can write a quick Ebase form to loop through all files and look for the specified content.

Steve,
If you are currently using Ebase 5.0 or higher there's also another way that I find much easier.
I use a text editor called Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ which is a very powerful text editor.
One of its features is "find in files" which lets you search the contents of all files in a directory that you choose for a given string.
So you could point it to your Ebase workspace folder and search for
database="YOUR DB CONNECTION NAME" and it will return all database resources that use that database connection.

Yes it's used a lot in our department.
The one thing that has prevented me jumping from EditPadPro is copying search matches.
That is I set up a regular expression and search, EditPadPro has the option to copy the matched results into list. I use this a lot to generate things like a sql statement for each match.
