Re: SQL to Native

Hello James,

Getting codes for Native kernel should be enough.
You should be able to reuse a copy of the entire application by recompiling 
CompileObjects.XAL as first step and then recompiling the entire application 
as next step.

Can anyone confirm to me that to move a customer from SQL kernel to native 
kernel that I just need to buy a native kernel for their current license? 
(They are valid on AEP)

In this part of the world noone in MS licensing has much experience with XAL 
so I need to be sure before telling the customer the cost etc

Is just buying the native kernel is not enough what do I need to do?

The customer just wants to keep the system for audit purposes and its a 2.7 
so they dont want to have to buy/build new SQL machine just for this (their 
DB is less than 500MB) so I have proposed switching to native and 
export/import of data.  This way they can burn the whole appl to a CD and 
ahve ti ready to run at any time etc

Thanks
James
