UPDATE and DELETE, but also REPLACE, APPEND, SCAN, LOCATE/CONTINUE, SEEK, etc., etc. Most of the available frameworks have the ability to switch their use of views or CursorAdaptors from local to remote, but there's still a lot of fine-tuning to be done. And then there are the issues of cleaning up the data: handling empty fields that need to be NULL in the target, converting dates to datetimes (and back), and so forth. It's non-trivial. Usually not very exciting work, but resource intensive. Think of it as a full-employment plan. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ 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.
