My path will likely be to switch to MySQL unless 4D comes to the table. FMP seems to have been a dead end since v4 didn't evolve into a multi-threaded db, but rather the kludged FMP-server with many instances of FMP client.
I've been hoping all along that 4D would develop a native connection with Tango, but Pervasive wasn't very cooperative on that one. 4D being the logical heir to the FMP franchise. (I'll try to install Primebase, but it looks expensive and arcane even to install on OS X, so it looks like MySQL) FMP may stay as an in-house interface, but I'd just as soon make it all web and burn FMP. Why support two interfaces when you can do one? On 5/31/02 1:43 PM, "Stephen Arnold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So Roland & others - Exactly what are we going to do with v5 and our FMP > db's.
