Been playing with V9 and like it alot. The new additions are very nice.
The basic speed increase is impressive.
Would you expect anything less?
I did a V8 to V9 conversion on two separate machines and got the same
results. I am going back to V8 to do a complete unload clean rebuild
and then redo the conversion in case some small error is creeping in,
but I have not seen any problems in any V8 checks so far. V8 usually
chugs along until I screw something up. There is a lot to learn with
V9. Has anyone else seen this or is this just something that happens
in conversions?
Tom,
The BEST approach to upgrade from Turbo V-8 to R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64)
is to first UNLOAD the entire database, and then use that file to let
R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64) build a fresh database for you.
Here's how:
01. Start R:BASE Turbo V-8 and CONNect to the database
02. At the R> Prompt
OUTPUT dbname.ALL
UNLOAD ALL
OUTPUT SCREEN
DISCONNECT
RENAME dbname.RX? dbname_bkp.RX?
EXIT
03. Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64) Build: 9.0.1.11111 or higher and
switch the folder to the same directory as in Step 02.
04. At the R> Prompt:
SET FEEDBACK ON
RUN dbname.ALL
CLS
SET FEEDBACK OFF
This will create a fresh database for R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64).
During the build process, make sure to watch for -ERRORs-, if any.
If prompted, abort the process, and correct all -ERROR-s in the
original V-8 database, using Turbo V-8.
Technically, repeating the Step 04 using R:BASE Turbo V-8 should
also generate the same -ERRORs-, if any.
DISCONNECT
DELETE dbname.RX?
RUN dbname.ALL
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
