7.1 - will this be easy to convert to v8 turbo???
Bob,
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. RBG8 (exactly same features/look as 7.5 + more ...)
02. Switch the default directory to your 7.x database(s)
03. At the R> prompt, type the following command:
TURBO dbname
Watch the speedy database conversion process ...
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
X = eXtended
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.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
