Re: [NF] RealBasic and MySQL (was Re: VFP Metro Interface)
It's nice that RealBasic works with SQLite fairly seamlessly. It makes it easy to create an in-memory database much like we have cursors in VFP. Full SQL capability of SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE is sweet. (Dabo has had this capability for a long time as well.) If by 'proprietary' you mean tied to a particular database, then I wholeheartedly agree. People want freedom with their database choice and their ability to extend it. Side note: Why do so many people choose Quickbooks with it's proprietary database and ridiculous licensing fees?

Quickbooks = momentum Say what you want about Intuit's products, the marketing was innovative and genius at the time. They practically gave away Quicken...it worked well enough...they were constantly updating (which equated to presence and top of mind market share)...and they developed a nationwide network of local peeps that will hold your hand if you get the jitters and they enlisted accounting firms in the effort to earn credibility. Quicken/Quickbooks was also groundbreaking in not forcing you to post and close accounting periodsI still remember seeing accountants eyes bulge out when they discovered that you actually could go back to a prior, closed accounting period and *gasp!* CHANGE something!!! Oh...mygodit was the end of the world in Bean land. Intuit's technology sucks, but Quickbooks is also a great example of a product completely defining and controlling a software segment. THAT takes skill! Especially the controlling part for any period of time. I don't care for Quickbooks/Quicken either, but I respect what Intuit has accomplished.
