I think it's reaching the point where there aren't a great deal of differences and it's more one of working with the one you know best unless some of the detail stuff matters to you. For example if all the internationalisation stuff matters to you then you need UniVerse. Similarly I think I'm right in saying that UniVerse is ahead on some security & excryption issues. But then UniData has EDA if you want to put data out into DB2...and so on.
UniData's dynamic files work fine these days although you still have to do a bit of management of them George Land APT Solutions Ltd On 23/7/07 21:24, "Doug Chanco" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey all, > > I was wondering if anyone can tell me (or knows of any good > sites/articles that talk about) the benefits of universe over unidata > (and visa versa).
