From: "Joe Lewis Wilkins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Guess I'm going to start up another great controversy.
I shouldn't think. This is a very interesting discussion AFA I am concerned
at any rate.
Again I'm hearkening back to my HC days. When it was first released, one
of its main claims to fame was the question as to whether or not it WAS a
database. Certainly, it had all of the attributes and features of one.
Even with SE30s as a machine; and, with some 2,000 records/ cards, HC
performed acceptably fast considering the simplicity of its
implementation and subsequent use. So, my question is: has RR done such a
poor job at duplicating this functionality that we cannot get along
without specialty DBs in MOST instances? If it has, then at what record
level must we consider using these other DBs? I realize that there ARE
many applications that will need a greater capacity, but not the average
one created by the "average" Rev user. I'd sure like to know.
So would I. I'd love to hear how big a record set (per stack of cards, per
stack file etc) people have achieved and gotten acceptable performance. I
have built applications using both altSQL in the past and using Stacks of
cards. A project I'm considering would benefit immensely from this
discussion.
