Hi Martín,

This is certainly useful. But I thought that the upsize SQL tool is part of the VFP9 SP2. Maybe I am mistaken.

The rest of the features you describe seem to be impressive. And for those of us who are truly experts in VFP and .NET (and I am not even remotely close to them) the features could be academically interesting. But I simply don't have time to learn something for the sake of learning. Unless I see a practical feature(s) that I can add to my application, learning Sedna will take a low priority. I am not knocking Sedna, of course.

Thank you very much for your input.

It is extensible and hierarchical, but it load on demand instead of actually building a huge object.
