To authenticate linux against Active Directory, look into PAM (pluggable authentication modules). Just be careful - if you break PAM and don't have a backup, you then can't log in to your linux box! I can't give any advice about PAM, my only attempt to use it failed, but I know that's how

Hi Jeff The 'magic bullet' is usually to resize all your type 1 files to type 19 before trying the migration. Regular file names (not directory) will be truncated using a sequence number but that's not an issue - they will go across correctly. Type 1 files won't. Any SQL tables will also cause

Arnold Yes, I've been impressed with FPC generally, though it depends what type of project you are trying to migrate! For straight-forward VCL forms apps it seems like a reasonable tool. However I would have to say that whilst Lazarus has come a long way, it still lags well behind other IDEs,

[U2][UD] Index for @ID (IBM documentation)

Hi everybody, In the IBM publication Developing UniBasic Applications, Version 7.1, December 2006, it says on page 4-16 (page 93 in my PDF file): Tip: Create an index for @ID to speed access to data records. Seriously? Will that honestly speed things up in a file that has

RE: [U2][UD] Index for @ID (IBM documentation)

2009-01-28 Thread Tom Whitmore
No, you don't want to index on the ID because it is unique. That would be a very inefficient index. If you created an i-descriptor that broke the ID into several multi-valued parts, then it MAY help, but I don't think it is worth the overhead. Tom -Original Message- From:
