This is an interesting post regarding client server in [x]harbour ---------antonio linares Doug, Excellent! Could you provide us some more tech details about it ? As far as I understand it, you are using sockets and you have built a server using Harbour (console mode). ----------------------------xProgrammer Doug Before I present actual code (in the posts to follow) I should provide the following by way of explanation. Whilst this code is functional in the sense that I am using it in an application it is very much work in progress. The code is not claimed to be complete, neat, robust or optimised. Also please note that the code has been written to meet my needs and not as a general "library" in any sense. Along the way I have had to make many design decisions where there were many alternatives which may suit you better. Why would you bother going client-server with xBase? In my case the answer is simple. I need better performance across a VPN than I can achieve with conventional xBase code. The alternative is to use a third party data base back end such as mySQL, PostrgeSQL, or if you want to pay for the privilege Advantage DataBase Server, Sybase or SQLServer. Those options will in general give you more than my option will, the extent of those extras depending upon your choice. Features such as transaction control, roll forward / roll back, ad hoc queries / reports and management tools. At this stage all I have set out to do is to write a data base back end to do reads, updates and inserts. ----------------------- http://forums.fivetechsupport.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12269&sid=67b77548105a764ac90877ebf6282dba&start=15
will harbour multithread give a big improvements to xdoug? I dream about a universal harbour compoment installed on server side will be basic compoment for an application who connect to his server side remotizing data access (netrdd) and gui (netgt) -- Massimo Belgrano _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list [email protected] http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
