Setting DBConsole font

[Former Member]

Does anyone know how to set the DBConsole to use a mono-spaced font?

I may have named dbconsole incorrectly there is only one panel -- it's from the restore of the lightening sysicon for the database engine. I am writing log (debug) messages out using tabs (spacing), etc to align data and the variable font face makes the spacing inconsistent with a monospaced font in an editor when accessing the data from the console log file later.

Ahh.... Didn't see this post.

So let me get this straight. You're trying to create a custom log file.

I have NO idea where that font would be set. I'll give it a look and see if I can find anything.

There is no way to change the font used by the SQL Anywhere Console (dbconsole).

Can you tell us which panel you wanted to view with a monospaced font? (Connections, Properties, and/or Messages)? Is the default font not readable?

PS I have also had success writing them to the console log file using the parameter indicated.

The following is the code I used (in a self contained script file)

MESSAGE '>>>> ConsoleLogFileON.sql' TYPE INFO TO CONSOLE; -- -- Establish ConsoleLogFile, if necessary -- //CREATE VARIABLE l_consolelogtext char(128) = 'ConsoleLogFile'; //CREATE VARIABLE l_consolelogfile char(128) = ''; CREATE VARIABLE l_consolelogtext char(128); CREATE VARIABLE l_consolelogfile char(128);

SET l_consolelogtext = 'ConsoleLogFile'; SET l_consolelogfile = '';

SELECT PROPERTY ('ConsoleLogFile') INTO l_consolelogfile;

MESSAGE String ('>>9> ConsoleLogFile ', l_consolelogfile) TYPE INFO TO CONSOLE DEBUG ONLY;

IF l_consolelogfile = '' THEN SET l_consolelogfile = 'Y:message.clf'; CALL sa_server_option (l_consolelogtext, l_consolelogfile); END IF;

DROP VARIABLE l_consolelogtext; DROP VARIABLE l_consolelogfile;
