Rapid Vers I4GL

-> The issue raised its head as one of our clients is moving to V.7 and 6 4GL -> for SPEED REASONS, and I had to furnish reasons about which is best. OK, on a blind swing here - V7 has a different method of communicating with its front-ends than V5. The V6 tools are changed to accomodate this. SO - *if* V7 will be faster then you should go to the V6 tools. However, V7 will only be faster if you have a substantial number of users and / or you implement fragmentation and / or you have multiple processors. If none of the above conditions are met, V7 might actually be *slower* than V5 and it's quite a different ballgame to set up and administer. It may be worth looking at tuning his existing engine or upping RAM / putting in more disks (to balance the load), etc. But I personally don't believe that it's worth going from RDS to C for performance (which may have been your original question :)) HTH billy.wheeler@digitec.co.za
