IMO a lot of programmers don't use them because they're slow !

Check the example in the "Differences between xBase and SQL implementations" thread with the references i gave within another thread.

>>You've got just to load the VFP-view and doesn't execute the relations and filter setting for those records you don't access, giving you a tremendous performance gain over very large SQL - views.
