>you can also get changes back whenever you wanted
If you say “you” you mean a specialist an administrator.
YES...me. If I Use SQL .. I have to know how to do this... If you work with DBF, at least you should know how to use DBU. Don't you?
You can work with your password on your tables on a SQL Server. In practice it is the same as with your dbf-files in a folder.
IMPOSSIBLE....As a good ADMINISTRATOR and DEVELOPER.... never work with the administrator user , create a work user without all privileges... or you log into a linux box as ROOT?... In DBF case... your son playing in you PC can erase the folder with no problems at all.....
"In practice it is the same as with your dbf-files folder "
Maybe you are save as long as you install all the service packs and the setup of the server is correct. Administrator is a profession. But not every SQL server is setup by a professional. This is much work. As always after every SP you have to change the setup etc. .
I've never installed a service pack in LINUX....( always use final releases ) there the problem is not SQL... is the SO... maybe MICRO$OFT.
When you have a hosting....you do nothing of these. Just uploaded my DB, and use it from all my customers locations.
The Lifetime Cost - a total of all costs you have for a software product like ours would be much higher if I would use SQL.
Yes. SQL is not for all kind of software.
I don’t understand why there are so many pages full with performance problems, server down, troubleshooting?
Mainly because is so widely used by so many kind of users (from students, to IT pro )... now if you seek within these pages most of them are related to MICRO$OFT products and SO. Also remember that there at least 7 main brands of sql servers... MS, Mysql, Oracle, Postgress, Sybase, DB2, SQLITE (wich is more used than you think since is a embeded SQL engine )... so the number of actual users and developers is HUGE....
Finally... XHB,FWH and Mysql is a very good combination.
