... If you have any large number of users, what guarantees this is not happening? This would not be possible with a real client-server -- I mean a two tier system as any typical sql engine such as ADS. So my question really is: --Is it possible to use ADORDD with msSQL or MySQL and **not** have the ...

... good). With Advantage there are three different ways to connect to data: . Advantage Local Server (ALS). . Advantage Database Server in a two tier mode (Client-Server). . Advantage Internet Server (AIS). AIS: Advantage can establish a secure connection between remote locations through basic ...

... strain on both the dataserver and the network. Better keep one connection open per one instance of the application. We are discussing about 2-tier (client-server) programming where our application directly connects to the dataserver, be it sql server or oracle or whatever. So for 2-tier applications ...

... web services environment by eliminating the need for HTTP access directly to the database server. It can reduce the overall complexity of an n-tier application by eliminating the need to write middle-tier components that do nothing by transform data into JSON or XML. http://www.odata.org/ecosystem ...

The "remote" ADS is the only option that gives you true client-server (2-tier) paradigm, just like MS-SQL or MySQL or Oracle. With a 2-tier -client-server mode, database operations take place at the server-end, thus saving all data round trips from/to the ...

... happes, for whatever reason including network failures, and data was either being read or written to the shared drive, corruption occurs. In a 2-tier paradigm, this doesn't happen since read and writes are all managed by the server regardless of the workstation status. Back when ADS was young, ...

In a 2-tier (true client-server) application, data is managed by the server. Index operations are performed on the server end. Without ADS, (that's when the server is only used as a shared drive) each record travels from the ...

... an ADS server is the path of least resistance. Just install the server. Change the default rdd to ADS. Done. You now have true client-server (two tier paradigm) + SQL + remote access with a choice of many clients (including xharbour). **OR** Go for MS-SQL, or MySQL, or Oracle, or any other SQL ...

... database that removes the most common bottleneck applications hit today: disk. By offering a familiar relational interface to an in-memory data tier, MemSQL empowers developers with the technology web-scale companies use to cope with massive traffic and growth. MemSQL offers orders of magnitude ...

... methods. So I don't see any downside. The upside is no scatter/gather coding. No work up front, some work possible later. I do understand three-tier systems. I did describe how you can switch to using different database sources such as ADS, XML, SQL, array, etc. as long as those tables have ...

... doesn't really matter but beyond that it is a major time waster and source of errors.

... have xBase OOP styles that are fairly different. (just woken up!) Two of the influences on me that have had an impact on my style are: 1. Three tier clent/server programming (that Microsoft was pushing) which amongst other things called for the separation of UI, business rules, and persistence. ...

... are supposed to put least demands on Server and Network resources. Therefore the best practices are ( our discussion is limited to client-server 2-tier architecture only ) :- 1. Dont open more than one connection per application. 2. Ask the server for just enough information required for the purpose. ...

... than I could explain in the earlier post. We do see many asp page sources with total connection string while opening recordsets. That is a 3-tier architecture and a different environment of stateless connections and disconnected recordsets. For client-server programming ( 2-tier ) what I ...

All these are issues as long as we still stick to our old habits of client-server architecture. Today its all three-tier architecture everywhere, with web enabled applications (intranet or internet). Dot-net is only one of the platforms for 3-tier web enabled applications (it does ...
