... not the great option. I will give one classic example: EMAIL Many providers now want us to use a web based mail program. For me, that is totally inefficient . I use outlook to monitor 6 different email accounts, all in one place. Emails come in, I see a quick notification, and I can respond right ...

... children. That would be 50 * 2,500 = 125,000, Wow! And that is just for one parent! Creating an Excel file containing all that data is extremely inefficient. That is why relational databases were born. If it was my client, the first thing I would be asking is what are you trying to accomplish ...

... In such case users have to add to their code call to hb_gcAll() function. In xHarbour they used sometimes background task for this job but it's inefficient workaround for the problem due to reduced performance. This code is still experimental code enabled by HB_GC_AUTO Harbour compile time macro.

... tools we have. But let me say this. ADS client server software's server side filters are very fast. I could get acceptable results even with very inefficient filters like "'ADAM' $ FIRSTNAME" on tables with half a million rows. Whatever I said in my earlier post was with reference to ...

... to alert the user that he needs to refresh the browse to see newly inserted records. So far I've been doing this with timers, but it is very inefficient and awkard at best. This could be done with threads by having the app issue an "event" and have the browsing app listen for that ...

... can optimise the setting - you may have to reduce polling frequency to avoid server overload. Remember that directory / file searches are rather inefficient. You could use an xBase table, as others have suggested, or if you want real efficiency an array or hash on the server Good luck! Regards ...

... just make a loop and exit when there are no more chars to read after a reasonable timeout. This is called "polling" that is very inefficient. EMG

... Anybody here tried something similiar. The alternative method is to Read the data one by one and paste it on each cell, which I have found is very inefficient and time consuming. Regards Anser

... unnecessarily complicated (perhaps just my lack of understanding at the time). If I went SQL I wouldn't want my xBase commands translated to (inefficient) SQL, I would just rewrite my code to use SQL. Support for that no doubt bloats libraries that include that terribly. Having subsequently ...

... around 1 second per returned patient rather than a fraction of a second even if 100 patients are returned. The problem is not that the code is inefficient per se, it's just that 1. more data has to be transmitted / received, and 2. that is done piecemeal rather than in aggregate. So you could ...

... (often pre-compiled) stored procedures. xBase files don't support variable field lengths which many client-server solutions do which can be space inefficient but then again so can client-server engines depending upon page sizes etc. In my opinion SQL is ugly from an OO perspective because it is ...

Hi all The code in the above post gave a fairly high degree of compatability with the Windows version of xHarbour but was a bit inefficient. I reworked the logic into a PRINTERS class without trying to be call compatible with the Windows version. This class is quite functional as it stands ...

Hi Peter If your SQL code pretty much follows your xBase code it will be inefficient. SQL is efficient where you "bundle up" the work into a single query. If you have a series of individual "seeks" SQL will be inefficient compared to xBase on a local machine. ...
