Hello Guys, got a busy year this year due to our local city election (
Don knows what it looks like !) But I'm always reading everything
posted here. Dave I'm very glad that you find DP and I'm sure you'll be
in loving with it very soon. I'm not a DBA but have some programming
background, and I never found something so fast, quick and dirty like
DP. Today people spent tons of hours with windows make-up (
buttons,colours,flowers, fluff's and etc..) and data which is the goal,
nothing. I read you post and congratulations you already get the spirit,
or better, you already know how to do it. There is just one thing that I
suspect you would have to adjust in a near future : "(..) its report
writer isn't nearly as powerful as writing an SQL query in a modern
database.." After you go deeper and master formulas you probably will
have to add a p.s. to your post! .
Talking about DP guys , I remember and found on dateperfect.nl (in
wayback machine) an advise about "the Huntington Beach DP Conference
Video's" and that Colin Roberts had the full 8 dvd's set. Colin, do you
still have this set somewhere ? I'm interested in put this online if
everybody is d'accord.
Merry Christmas to you all guys and a happy new year in 2017 ( as John
Olivier says "Fu..you 2016!" )

Howdy all,
I just recently started using DataPerfect for some assorted personal
information management (chiefly medical history), and thought that a
write-up of why a 34-year-old DBA/programmer would opt for a database
development platform that's nearly as old as he is might make for some
interesting light reading.

Note that my site is 100% non-commercial in nature. It's just a little
hobby blog running on my Raspberry Pi (Pelican works great for that
purpose).
I'll try not to annoy everybody with too many beginner questions on
account of being a couple decades behind the curve here. :)
