So you would not use VFP for large-scale distributed applications.....

OK.....

If you are speaking here in defense of VFP's speed and how it compares to SQL-Server, I am not sure this is a great way to make that argument....

>So, just for grins, I opened a VFP table in the VIEW window and issued select * in the command window and the results came back instantaneously. I did the same thing in the Query Analyzer and it took noticeably longer, but it was still very fast. If this is not a fair comparison, then I stand corrected and I'm the biggest turkey in the world.

I think some real-world , as opposed to contrived examples, might be better to test this thoery out... As it stands, it is not a valid comparision.
