Author Adwantage Database Server ?

Hello

Small question, we developed our own clipper application since years. We are using Clipper 5.2e, Blinker 7.0 and Comix 3.0.
All Data's are on a SBS 2003 Server. Every think work well like this.

But I have to include 2 PC thought a SDSL data transmission (about 2-3Mbps). Actually not installed!

I think I will have Performance problem, why the raison to check the Advantage Database Server option.

Question :
- It is difficult to set up this Database Engine on a SBS Server ?
- I have about 20 tables with many index's to move. Are they any tools to do that ?
- News are telling, that no or very less changes do in Clipper PRG. Is that right ?

Many thanks in advance for any help

Hi Otto,

setup : we had setup ads on sbs server without problems
Tools to move : If you use CDX Indices and FPT memos a reindex (or better
rebuild the index) should be all all you need
changes in code : I only know 5.3, donīt know about rddset() in 5.2. In 5.3
its only a "request dbfcdxax" and a rddsetdefault() instead of dbfcdx and
some libs/files in the blinker link script

Thats it and works fine for years now.

HTH
Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your information's. But after a check on the Sybase webside I saw that Advantage are to expensive for a small company.

Otto,

>I never head something about leto db. Does it work only wit xHarbour ?


Look it up at Sourceforge, and google for the few pages about it that
exist. It looks like an interesting project, and it is under
development by a group of people with an excellent reputation in the
(x)Harbour world. But it is way too early to use it for any production
work. Release 0.1 is only a month old (there have been a couple of
incremental releases since then), so there is still a lot left on the
developers' to-do-list.

Regards,
Klas
