Hello,
I've been running few tests accessing VFP tables with VB. Using ODBC or an ADO seems to be really slow. I opened a form in VB that loads my user table connected by an ADO on the same disk. It took 17 seconds to appear using an AMD300Mhz with 64 Meg of RAM. The VB manual says ADO is a resource hog. I guess:) My question is, does VB have the same performance problem connecting to an SQL Server database or an Access database? If so, why does so much of the documentation on client server architecture using Microsoft technologies recommend using VB?
Seems to me VFP is faster to develop the interface and much faster at runtime, and supports large centrally located database'. Any comment?
