Tip of the Day: Converting 7.x Database to 8.x
To convert your existing R:BASE 7.x for Windows database
to R:BASE V-8 Turbo, all you have to do is the following:
01. Start R:BASE V-8 Turbo
02. At the R> Prompt:
    TURBO dbname
    And watch the database conversion ...
    That's all there is to it!
    This step makes a duplicate copy of your 7.x database
    to be used exclusively by R:BASE V-8 Turbo.
New database files will have the following extensions:
    dbname.RX1
    dbname.RX2
    dbname.RX3
    dbname.RX4
The original R:BASE 7.x database will remain intact as
an R:BASE 7.x database without change.
All R:BASE 7.x Forms, Reports, Labels converted to V-8,
along with your existing R:BASE 7.x compliant code and
applications should work accordingly.
Once the database is converted, it can only be connected
using R:BASE V-8 Turbo.
R:BASE V-8 Turbo has all features included in R:BASE 7.5
for Windows.
Along with "NO 2GB LIMIT", more power and V-8 specific
commands, you also have the ability to use up to 128
characters naming convention for database, tables,
columns, etc.
R:BASE V-8 Turbo for Windows is suitable for those who
are reaching the limit of 2GB as well as for Enterprise
WEB/LAN/WAN Application Development Environment.
The BEST is yet to come ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
