Hi Michael,
our application (active m-ware) uses ~550 tables, no remote views, just SPT, XML-Metadata, DB-based data-repository and 25 different reporttypes with up to 99 variants each that can be printed by VFP, Crystal Reports or special apps that are running on UNIX/LINUX (very fast). As database we use Informix or PostgreSQL.
The Application uses entirely VFP9SP1 on all tiers. Our users can decide if they want a pure fat client with a simple 2003-Fileserver (5-10 Clients) or MS Terminalserver / CitrixMF with Clustered servers.
There are also Web-based interfaces written in JAVA, and some low level tools written in VS2005 C#/.net2.0. The UNIX/LINUX-part is written in ROSI-SQL (uses cursors rather similar to VFP but without OOP).
The client installations of our customers differ from 5 to 250 clients.
Best Regards
-Tom
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
