Subject: Which do people like better - DBaseIII+ or DBXL??
Summary: DBaseIII+, DBXL,which better
Date: 28 Dec 92 16:39:30 GMT
Distribution: na
Organization: Clark College, Vancouver, Wa.  USA

(Not sure, but these 2 newsgroups were the only ones I could think of that
would be appropriate for my questions about DBXL and DBaseIII+, if not,
sorry.  I also do not read these 2 much, so please email any responses to
me, thanks.)

I work at a small newspaper and maintain the circulation mailing list.
When I started working there back in April, the list was kept on a database
with DBaseIII+.  The business manager we had at that time was going to try
and have me move the database over to DBXL and use that program instead.
That was not done before he was no longer with the newspaper.  Now we have
a different business manager and wants to use DBXL because we have
documentation for it and we don't for dBaseIII+, don't know who got the
copy of dBaseIII+ for us in the first place.  I am posting this message
here to be able to see which program people have a preference to and why.
I would like to be able to use the response information to show the
business manager whether or not moving over to DBXL is wise.  I will not
say I should just by the responses I get, but as help on deciding the
final outcome some.

To let you know what size database I am working with, it has about 7000
records, having gone up from about 6000 records since last April.  It could
go up another 500 to 1000 by the end of 1993, or even more.

My questions are:
1)  Does DBXL display information/help onto the screen easier than dBaseIII+?

2)  Which program works well or better with a 7000 to 8000 record database?

3)  I have label format info setup already with dBaseIII+, is it or will it
    be much problem to use them with DBXL?

(and now the real personal questions)
4)  Which program do you like better?  (the more you have used both to be able
    to compare the 2 together, the better)
    Your answer can include which has a better help setup, menu options,
    display to the screen info, anything that can show which is better.

Thank you, I hope the 4 questions above are enough help on how people can tell
me which database program between DBXL and dBaseIII+ may be better.

We are in desperate need of help in using PARADOX 4.0 off of a Novell
server.  We have been experiencing 'unexpected errors' starting with
release 3.5 and are continuing to have problems with release 4.0 of
PARADOX.  

Documented below is the configurations for the DOS workstations and
the Novell Server.  There is also a short note on the problems that
we have experienced with TUTILITY.  If anyone could point out any
specific problems with the configurations below, we would be greatly
in your debt.  As of now, using PARADOX, in a production environment,
is almost impossible.  Borland has been of no help in resolving these
problems, in as much that they cannot even identify where the errors
are occuring in PARADOX when a memory location is given along with the
unexpected error message.  

Thanks for any assistance that you can provide!

DOS:

The following is the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for one of the
operators who is having problems with PARADOX 4.0 on the Novell server:

	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

TUTILITY:

We ran TUTILITY 4.0 on two tables.  We're almost certain the tables
were corrupted.  We had gotten key violations when restructuring and
continued to have "unexpected condition 449" problems.  TUTILITY 
rebuilt without lossing records and said it had 0 problems. However,
we had a problems with a form afterwards.  We found that all forms
were corrupt or out of date (modify/change/form).  We had made a backup
of the tables before Tutility ran. The forms were ok on the backup.
DOES TUTILTITY KILL YOUR FORMS? DOES IT REALLY FIX ANYTHING?

You should be able to convert a numeric to a time by using TimeSerial.

Reply-To: fsbrn@brl.mil
Organization: Army Research Laboratory

I've been working on an application in Paradox 3.5 and last night I
noticed a bug (in my app).  I'm using a form to allow the user to fill
out an invoice, and everything is ok until I get to the end.  The last
input field is the amount tendered.  I use a WAIT FIELD/UNTIL loop to
get the amount, plug in a default value if the field was left blank,
and DO_IT!.  Alas, the amount is not displayed (if the user left it
blank, of course it is there if he typed it) nor is the next
calculated field -- AmountDue-AmtTendered.  Immediately after this
block of code is a call to SHOWMENU so the user has plenty of time to
look at the blank calculated field.  I never noticed the problem in the
past because I put in a dummy WAIT/UNTIL to give me time to check out
the final form (before I finished the proc).

I added a REFRESH before the SHOWMENU and that didn't do anything
(just what *does* it refresh?).  I tried KEYPRESS "r" WAIT FIELD
UNTIL "r" and it still waited for a keyboard response (does WAIT flush
the buffer first?).  My next idea is to paint the 2 numbers on the
canvas; the user will think they're on the form.  The next WAIT/UNTIL
will properly refresh it.

Does anyone have a solution to my problem?  I got my 4.0 upgrade
Friday so 4.0 solutions are also welcome, altho the app will be run
under 3.5 for the time being (or 4.0 in compatibility mode).  Thanks.

It isn't the number of users, it's the basic size of the tables.
One of our clients has pushed a table to 900k rows, 250Mb on an RS/6000
with 50Mb memory dedicated to the Sybase server. Working with it
feels like retiling the bathroom while an elephant uses the john.

On a practical level: can you segment your app to use several servers
(I mean multiple boxes, not processes)?

I tried to do the same thing you want to do and, after getting an error and  
clicking the help button, found out that counters always start with 1 and you  
cannot convert an existing field (with data in it) into a counter type.  The  
way I got around this was to set the default-value property to an expression  
using the DMax function: =DMax("[field1]", "Table1")+1 where field1 is the  
field I'm setting the default value for and Table1 is the table it's in.  If  
you're using a query-based form to access the table, you need to set the  
default-value property for the control in the same way.  Hope this works for  
you.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with experience using an RDBMS --
I'm particularly interested in Informix, Ingres, Interbase, Oracle, Progress,
or Sybase -- for text management and retrieval.  I do know about products
that are designed for this purpose like Topic, and if you link a dedicated

I was curious to know the differences between the 2 terms commonly used in the
fields of databases and software engineering. 

Data Abstraction & information hiding

Data abstraction, I feel is the hiding of the low level implentation of the 
data structure from the operations that are performed on it. 

I am not really sure as to what information hiding is, seems to be similar. 

Could someone let me know if there are dufferences between these two terms 
and if so what are the pro's and cons of using one for the other in the 
world of databeses and s/w eng.

I would be very skeptical of any Oracle benchmark claims because Oracle's
license prevents the publication of any benchmark results without Oracle's
permission.  Therefore, the only Oracle benchmark results you will see are
the "good" ones.

As far as I know, no one has yet integrated content-based retrieval (CBR)
with BLOBs and large text fields, which is what you really want.  Remember,
though, that BLOBs are relatively new and I would expect that something like
this will start happening in the next year or so.

It might be interesting to the vendors who are reading this group if we
were to start a thread on what a CBR-BLOB capability would look like.  The
way I conceive it, at its simplest, it would involve a new type of index
("create text index"?) which would set up a varchar or BLOB column to be
retrieved via CBR operators, along with some new CBR operators (at least
contains, and probably more sophisticated stuff than that.)

sold me over a year ago 'Codebase++', a C++ class library for DBASE IV
functionality in source code. It works fine. Their companion product for C
is advertised withe version 5.0 now, but I have not seen one C++ lately.
Maybe they discontinued the C++ Version. Does anybody know more about it ?
with wishes for a happy new year
