For a while when my app was still on DBFs (instead of Sql Server) I used
Table Buffering, with TableUpdate() and TableRevert() on all my CRUD
forms. I remember that it could get tricky keeping it all working
correctly in the UI, but in the end I had a pretty good pattern in
place. I took the path of making the user take the form into Edit Mode,
then they could Save or Cancel, and I handled TableUpdate() or
TableRevert() accordingly.
Anyway, I'm just trying to get a feel for how broadly used is Table
Buffering is in DBF-based apps?? It it a low number like 10%, or maybe
30%?
Did any of the other XBase language every have this table buffering
paradigm in them?
I'm probing into this as (self-assigned) research so I can enlighten the
X# Dev Team if this is something they may face as a common pattern in
VFP apps if anyone tried to move this sort of app over to X# one day.
