Hi Johan,

Thanks for the healthy input on the UT!

>I have started also an InMemory SQL database (still in development), but benchmarks tests so far indicate processing of about 3.5million rows per second

After so many years in the VFP world and still, losely, sticking to it, I resort to SQL engine power for anything resource-consuming. No C-level code, no external library. This may at time be un-usual un-academic use of SQL.

As Hank and Fay have mentioned, I am not alone at this workstation-side level level of VFP.

The perspective of a powerful 64bits local in-memory engine with top-notch performance at hand would definitely make the Xsharp attractive. Sort of the the same very same way sqlite is attractive in python. The sqlite integration in python is really impressive(*).

(*) Within python, sqlite can be used as a local engine (in memory), a way to run code in a smart way (extending the sqlite engine with C or python udf-s) and a persistent file-format for backup.
