Only a note ads v 9 use visual fox pro 9 data and index and run in win 32-64- and Linux
ADS<9 has provided support for FoxPro tables and CDX/IDX indexes for a long time, ADS 9 has added full support for Visual FoxPro tables, including auto-increment, date/time, and VarChar fields. Advantage can use its proprietary, high-performance locking with Visual FoxPro tables, but also supports a compatibility mode, permitting legacy applications that access the Visual FoxPro tables directly to co-exist with newer, Advantage-based applications. Advantage adds the new ADS_VFP table type for this support. so is samebody want share data with a visual foxpro9 application can use rddads in local mode (free) Advantage is also available in a local file server version, similar to isam. This version, the Advantage Local Server, is free. here you can download aceapi http://www.sybase.com/products/databasemanagement/advantagedatabaseserver recompile rddads point to this lib #include "ads.ch" request ADS procedure main RddSetdefault( "ADS" ) AdsSetFileType( ADS_CDX ) RddRegister ( "ADS", 1 ) AdsSetServerType( ADS_LOCAL_SERVER ) 2009/4/17 Przemyslaw Czerpak <dru...@acn.waw.pl>: > On Fri, 17 Apr 2009, Adam Lubszczyk wrote: > > Hi, > >> > It's not necessary.
