Still on native server atabase for dbase

since developing an rdbms is such too expensive for dbase and there are free
open source rdbms out there. i would propose that dbase should pick one of these
products and develop dbl commands to the native api of such, and as a matter of
urgency localise control of dbase tables within the language.

Take a look at perl, one of the reason it did so well is its interoperability
with mysql. dbase should look at this and learn.

we cant keep depending on standards that keep changing at the wimps and caprices
of a third party company. look at bde being developed by a company that seems to
be at a lose at what its identity should be or take microsoft which has just
developed LING, before you know what is happening ado will be thrown into the
dust bin at least we have seen it happening before.

Agbeniga,

This type of suggestion stands the best chance of getting the attention 
of dBI if you post it in the dbase.cto-wants-to-know.
