How to read "passwordcolumn" from table

A place for users and developers of the Xataface to discuss and receive support.

Is there a way to tell df_get_record not to skip the current "passwordcolumn'? I need to transfer the value in the password field to another database, but df_get_record refuses to read that column.

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

Sorry. For security reasons I thought it would be best to never load password columns into memory. Blob columns are also not loaded for performance reasons. If you need to copy the password column to another db you can load the data with an sql query explicitly. You can try changing the widget:type on the password column to 'text' temporarily. That would probably get you going.

Best regards

Steve
