Advantage DB Server

Hi All

Harbour has a DB driver name is RDDADS and tons of ( I guess more than 100 ) ( sadly undocumented :( ) functions prefixed "ADS" ( most probably implies Advantage DB Server ).

Does anyone use / try / test it ?

If any, does you recommend to use it ?

By the way, we haven't a forum Harbour specific; it will be useful ?

Regards / Saludos / saudação

Hello Esgici:
HMGforum think can hold a Forum on Harbour, depositing it on the same query,
This would be possible if Mr. Rathinagiri enable it.
I need that exists despite the Harbour mailing list.

Hola Esgici :
creo que HMGforum puede albergar un Forum sobre Harbour, en ella depositar consultas sobre el mismo,
ello sería posible si el señor Rathinagiri habilita el mismo.
creo es necesario a pesar que existe la lista de correo de Harbour.

Hi Esgici

I use ADS at work, is very safe, no corruption of indices, quite fast, all in local networks
I have not tested on Internet
we have more than four years working smoothly

Thanks Daniel to support.

Thanks Martin to explanation.

Is there a simple tutorial, like quick start etc, including installation issues ?

And samples in clipper / harbour ?

No remote net required, LAN is sufficient for me.

Regards, saludos, saudação

Hi Esgici,

First things first! I like your new avatar. :)

Regarding the Harbour discussion, Can we rename the Harbour, MingW updates category and use the same? Otherwise I have to create a new forum.

Thanks Rathi :)

My intent wasn't update / release / news; but help, questions and answers on Harbour related issues;

so IMHO a new forum / category will be better.

Thanks your efforts for us :)

Esgicit here is no manual for harbor, but there are forums Sysbase
but its use is as another rdd, with the same commands
append
replaces
seek, etc
but you can use SQL statements
Install the server is simple, and you can use the Advantage Architect, to handle your data dictionaries, add users, ect.

if you want I can send some prg, so you see its use
