One huge advantage of using an external databsase like SQLite is the
ability to store data outside of RAM. HyperCard used to use a non-RAM
based design, but Rev stores everything in RAM. So, if you have an
address book which has 100,000 records in a single stack, then all the
records would need to be stored in RAM simultaneously, creating
performance problems.
Plus, there are a number of huge advantages of using real databases.
Concurrent users, real transaction management, stored procs, etc..
What I can't understand is the given the huge difference in hw
performance since the days of HC, we should at least expect to have
something that performs reasonably well and on par with whatever we
had back then.
But we've gone through all the reasons and I understand, not posting
this to gripe.
