Is there ANYTHING you like or have ever liked about VFP? Would it help if VFP saved its tables in XML format?

FUD comment. ---------------------------- please tell me how you can pull data out of thin air if the rows are not present? Do you have a table for States? If you do, and your going to have a state drop down list what is not being brought down to the client? I would guess that there are a lot of these situations on every app written. You just don't think of it. You only think of my orders table and the OrderDetails. I wonder how you think that if the dbf file is 100 meg and your scanning that you don't get the bloody thing in entirety? I wonder if your indexes are poorly designed <big laugh here because having a lot is not the answer> that the data engine is not doing a table scan after your joins in the linking subsets / tables, let alone how it decides what to filter on in your where clause. Because the table is local it rips through real fast. What does everybody know about sql joins from a VFP POV/ What is actual and what is suggested, made up, to the extreme of pure bull? Everyone here sees that M$ bought FP to pull index technology to SQL Server. If that is so why are there real hard rules to what indexes are consumed in a query, and that you don't get a bunch of indexes for a single table like you think happens in VFP? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer First Horizon Bank Memphis TN 901.246-0159 [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
