Can you suggest in what areas we should expect to see this improved performance? I'm asking primarily because I'm not personally familiar with any areas that look like they could possibly have their performance improved.
This would be most beneficial in a situation where you are connecting to the same database either directly using R:BASE 7.x/8.x, or via Oterro DSN when you have Disk Full or I/O -ERROR-s in a complex multi-user environment.
To really see the difference, try the following cool test at the R> prompt. Just type the following and press [Enter].
CHKDSK fh -- file handles
Notice the results in 6.x or 7.x (until update 76) and the latest Pre-Release (Update 77 08/27/2004).
Notice the difference and imagine the possibilities!
This is a MAJOR step forward to enhance R:BASE I/O routines for upcoming updates/versions as well as a few commercial products handling R:BASE applications on Desktop, InterNet, IntraNet, LAN/WAN, RDT using R:BASE 7.x, 8.0 or Oterro 3.x.
Originally, the concept of enhanced I/O was implemented in R:BASE V-8 "Turbo" Private Beta, but our development team has decided to incorporate the same routines in current versions of R:BASE and Oterro. "RBIO" is designed to work with R:BASE 7.x/8.x and "OTIO" is designed to work with Oterro 3.x.
Wayne Erickson, the head of R:Dream Team, will explain more technical details at the Fall 2004 R:BASE Developers' Conference. http://www.rbase.com/conference
The same enhancement has been implemented in the latest private betas of Oterro 3.0 and R:BASE V-8 "Turbo".
Hope that provides the insight you are not personally familiar with.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
