I guess with databases it depends on how well managed the database is, how well the database tables are designed, and how skilled the developer is at writing SQL. I remember when I started at our company (which I worked at some years earlier too), the first thing I did was look where the program was slow. One report took 2-3 minutes to run. I looked at the code and simply said: WTF! 10 minutes of refactoring the code (undoing their mess) and rewrote the SQL statements... I got that initial 2-3 minute report down to 4 seconds. So in summary, using a database doesn't instantly mean faster! Binary files or Databases - you still need a skilled developer to make it work. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
