Hi Mr. AL Doman,


ODBC has an old history of bad performance and there is also the problem mentioned by Anatolly Mogytrvets.
I was wondering if someone could code an API like FoxMySQL that was done in the past for FOXPRO 2.6 through FLL (FOX Connectivity Kit).
But this fll runs only under WIN95/98 client. The limit is imposed by the winsock2.dll that is the base of the database connection. You can see the complete explanation on the URL http://natalie-tours.ru/my/fsox/.
If such API can be coded using modern resources we can use VFP as a client no matter where the database is. I will connect my client through socket on a UNIX system. I am wondering if we can also use named pipe.

Best regards,


Laercio Fortes
