Bernie Lis and David Blocker,
I guess you didn't read my message in its entirety <g>.
Towards the end of my message (see below), I mentioned:
*** 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 ***
Meanwhile, as a private beta tester of pre-release update 77, try the latest version in a *large* network environment and see if you notice any difference. Send your feedback to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
You may also try to RELOAD a *huge* R:BASE database, build or pack KEYS or use search/select queries for a *large* dataset with proper KEYS/INDEX and see if you notice any difference. Send your feedback to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.

My question is how do we use these or are they automatically used. Is there a way to tell how many fh's we use as we zip thru our commands?
Bernie Lis P.S. Razzak, I think you opened up a can of worms -- now we want to know more.

... Is the point that we have many more file handles? If so, what does that gain us? The ability to handle more data at a time when connected to other data sources or others are trying to handle connections to R:Base?

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.
