Lines: 21 I would like to continue it. I do a great deal of work on networks, mostly Novell, and am quite interested in what people are oding about database development across the LAN. Too be honest, I can't see much of a performance difference between Rbase, Dbase (I program in Clipper, so this is to what I'm referring), and Paradox. All three are conventional in the fact that they must pass the enitre entire application (and requests) across the LAN, creating a traffic bottleneck. What I'm particularly interested in; what are people doing with the new SQL server interfaces, as they seem to be the way to go on LANs. Much more efficient, unfortunatley, I don't think they've caught on that much yet. Clarion? I have never seen Clarion. What did you like about it, and what can you compare it to? It is an interpreter or compiler and how does it work?? ANd if you can, more about Emerald Bay, I've heard good things about it.
