Hallo Robert

I know 585 was for the CDX , but in my case also a lot of simultaneous updates. so maybe ...

and i saw also 2.9.0.2 : Fixed a problem with updating memo contents in DBFCDX (#782)

i fixed my files and i will wait one week and check somtimes the dbf-ftp and i f it comes again i will install the 2.6a version to see if its ok then.

Hallo Wolfgang
Its more a hobby for me and i can't afford the Fox membership.
But last year i made the decision to donor 10% of my X# income (its not so much) to oure developers beacuse i realy appreciate what they do for us.

Hi Horst,
it it is a hobby, it is ok, and this is one of the advantages of open source software: you can try it and work with it.
But if you are making your living with it (as my company does), then it should be normal to pay for it.

I would recommend to pay the FoX membership and use 2.10 where the DBFCDX issues are fixed (I'm using the DBFCDX RDD in several installations and can confirm that the issues are fixed).
And IMHO even open source developers need to pay their bills.

Hi Wolfgang,
that sounds promising. Can you also confirm that reindexing improved significantly in speed? X# 2.8/2.9 takes very long in comparison to VO.

Hi Moritz,
unfortunately I have not done any speed tests - I can confirm that the RDD itself in 2.10 is much faster than in 2.9.
It was done a lot of works in the RDD area.
But if you have a small sample I can make some tests for you.
For this I would need a small sample application (maybe even compiled) so I can run it on another machine with both the 2.9 and the 2.10 DLLs.

Thanks for the offer! Since that would mean some preparation for me, I'll get in touch with you. Besides that I am looking forward for the public installer to be released.

Guys,

the indexing has become very fast !

- large.dbf with 100000 records
- index on upper(LAST)
- the only difference is the size of the created cdx.

VO: 460.800 Bytes
X#: 460.288 Bytes

take a look at the attached GIFs

regards

Mmmh, it seems the forum software doesn´t like the GIF extension, because both files have now the PNG extension ?

anyway, i´ ll put the animated GIFs in a zip and try it again.

ok, both animated GIFs are now in the attached zip

Hi Karl,
as I wrote, I have done no speed tests, but could note the speed increase in customer applications after updating the runtime.

And again I will repeat myself, for all that are earning money with X# programming and have not yet a FoX membership: it is a good moment to subscribe and support further enhancements.

P.S. and yes, you can also hire someone from the team for specific needs and contribute in this manner to a solid product development
