X# SQL RDD Beta

We are starting the beta test for the X# SQL RDD next week.
If you are interested in participating in this beta, please email robert@xsharp.eu.
This will be a relatively short beta cycle.
There will be a special forum dedicated to the beta on this website.


What we expect of beta testers:

  • That you have time to test;
  • That you understand that beta software may have problems;
  • That you provide us with feedback (both positive and negative) about your experiences.

The first version of the SQL RDD will come with database providers for Oracle, Microsoft SQL and MySql and also for ODBC and OleDb.
Contact us if you need another provider. Setting up a new provider is not too complicated, but we may need some help from you.

  • Hi Karl, hi Juraj,
    I'm pretty sure PostgreSQL will also be supported. We have already asked for it, and I think PostgreSQL will be one of the most requested providers.

    • This is great.  Postgres is included, this is even greater!!!!

      I have been waiting for this for years... and great timing.

  • A while back we performace tested a lot of SQL databases. MySQL had horrible performance relative to the rest. One of its forks was a bit better. We didn't bother with Microsoft SQL given the licensing costs as we'd like to move away from that. The clear winner (given it's free) was PostgreSQL...

  • Hello,

    I just logged in to this group because I will join the beta test group.

    I will try to migrate an Alaska XBase++ App with Advantage Database Server

    to X# and this new RDD with Microsoft SQL Server (sorry PostreSQL) folks, but my installed
    base prefers MSSQL and as I am a seasoned MS-Programmer I have no problems with MSSQL.

    I have already migrated my ADS Tables to MSSQL and will write some spikes for key features
    for my app.

    Greetings from Vienna / Austria
