You may want to investigate this area. > Don't know anything about MySQL but have worked with MS SQL server and done a lot of research prior to choosing VFP for a back end. The scalability issues (for SQL server) only appear as you approach terabyte data warehousing-type applications at which point PC class machines begin to look pretty skimpy for other reasons as well. If budget is not an issue a few 32 processor RISC machines with Oracle (or similar products) will leave SQL Server/PC combinations in the dust...but not on a transactions per dollar basis. Poorly written OBDC drivers can cause problems with data transfer between clients and the server back end. >-- >J C Lawrence Internet: claw#null,net >(Contractor) Internet: coder#ibm,net >---------(*) Internet: claw#under,engr.sgi.com >...Honourary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith... > John Bertolgio >-- >MUD-Dev: Advancing an unrealised future. > </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01093.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Analysis and specification - the dirty words o</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01095.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Technical C/C++ coding question</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01019.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Databases: was Re: skill system</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01191.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Databases: was Re: skill system</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#01094"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#01094"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01049" HREF="msg01049.html">[MUD-Dev] (fwd) Temporality and user actions in MUDs</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Mon 15 Jun 1998, 18:26 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="01047" HREF="msg01047.html">[MUD-Dev] OT: Announcement</A></strong>, s001gmu <a href="mailto:s001gmu#nova,wright.edu">s001gmu#nova,wright.edu</a>, Mon 15 Jun 1998, 16:57 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01048" HREF="msg01048.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: OT: Announcement</A></strong>, Nathan F Yospe <a href="mailto:yospe#hawaii,edu">yospe#hawaii,edu</a>, Mon 15 Jun 1998, 18:17 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01019" HREF="msg01019.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Databases: was Re: skill system</A></strong>, John Bertoglio <a href="mailto:alexb#internetcds,com">alexb#internetcds,com</a>, Sun 14 Jun 1998, 04:53 GMT <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="01094" HREF="msg01094.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Databases: was Re: skill system</A></strong>, John Bertoglio <a href="mailto:alexb#internetcds,com">alexb#internetcds,com</a>, Wed 17 Jun 1998, 02:49 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01191" HREF="msg01191.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Databases: was Re: skill system</A></strong>, ##Make Nylander <a href="mailto:thenewt#use,usit.net">thenewt#use,usit.net</a>, Wed 24 Jun 1998, 13:31 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01192" HREF="msg01192.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Databases: was Re: skill system</A></strong>, jacob langthorn <a href="mailto:jlangthorn#towertechinc,com">jlangthorn#towertechinc,com</a>, Wed 24 Jun 1998, 14:21 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01014" HREF="msg01014.html">[MUD-Dev] META: The web is a live again!</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Sat 13 Jun 1998, 02:36 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="01006" HREF="msg01006.html">[MUD-Dev] Away on a trip</A></strong>, Bryce <a href="mailto:S006JBH#nova,wright.edu">S006JBH#nova,wright.edu</a>, Fri 12 Jun 1998, 20:56 GMT </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
