Hi Hank,

I ran a few tests on Lianja in its early days with a view to transfer a significant code base from VFP into it. This code base relies heavily on SQL tapping for temp VFP cursors (of course optimitized with indexes). In spite of its ISAM nature, the speed of the whole stuff is pretty decent.

Lianja cursors were not up to that task - run time was always a heavy multiple of their fox counterparts, which would mean a full rewrite of the logic from the python interpreter. I stopped investigating at this stage. I understand that Lianja is targetting business-and-mobile-centric apps. And this use of VFP cursors is certainly not academic and a bit passé but still feel something was lacking at the core of their local engine at that time (windev, for example, has changed tremendously in this field). Has the stuff been improved?
