Yes it does, and I share the wow factor. Barry's been at this stuff for 26 years (started writing Recital in 1986, I think), and because he's worked in Recital primarily with large enterprises, has learned through experience what we need to do data effectively. Stuff you don't learn from textbooks (although his degree in in C.S.) but rather from hard experience over time in real situations, a lot of it in high-integrity (banking in particular) situations.

>>not code generators, but development environment. A lot of that was in VFP, but was only fulfilled in the various frameworks that came out. There's very little code in our forms, for the most part: it's in the framework. The same will be true in Lianja, the exception being that business rules will run in the data engine exclusively (by our choice). Of course the business rules will be written in VFPish as supported by Lianja. It's like having SQL Server with VFP as the scripting language.
