I am sure a Rev-based database is not as fast - but if the speed is good enough, then it has the advantage of being written in transcript - meaning Rev developers can make all sorts of modifications very easily. I can see how this would be very useful.
And there are some things that Rev does that are really quite fast, despite being scripted. I guess it just depends on what you need. I plan on buying Valentina, by the way, - it is what I want for my Christmas present! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lynn Fredricks Sent: Monday, October 24, 2005 10:26 AM To: 'How to use Revolution' Subject: RE: database > What motivates you to create such a beast for free?

Jonathan, I don't know how he could seriously answer your question. Valentina 2 is usually several multiples faster than other C/C++ based databases, so it's like comparing a footrace with five different star ships, "system based" and faster-than-light versions. If speed is a concern at all, anything that is not compiled to machine code isnt going to work for you. If all you are going to do is store a thousand records locally and you don't need lightning speed, just about anything will work for you. It just wont grow very fast.
