Hi All,
It was mentioned sometime ago that a DBF Client/Server Engine in X# similar to ADS could be developed? Any news about this?
Thanks!
Jamal

Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks for that, however, I am asking about DBF not SQL.

Hi Jamal,
this means you do not need any SQL interface on this engine?

Hi Wolfgang,
In the link
https://www.xsharp.eu/articles/x-sql-rdd-beta I have not seen a mention of DBF.
Does it support DBF file in as Client/Server using SQL interface? If that's the case, that would be cool.

Hi Jamal,
it is an RDD based on different SQL engines. It behaves like an DBF table, but is based on SQL databases.

Hi Wolfgang,
Understood. Please refer
https://www.xsharp.eu/forum/topic?p=648#p648 from May 21, 2018.
It is similar to my request and this is what I am hoping for.

Hi Jamal,
if you need an ADO DataTable directly from a DBF datasource: something like this is already available from the runtime:
in the XSharp.Data library there is a DBDataTable() function, and if lloking there, there may be some other interesting things to explore.
