Hiya all...
I have been watching this thread and you (Venelina) hit an interesting point - many consultants of the 'hardware' industry never look at the software running on their machines - and thus cause many problems for the client. On the same token, you come in and identify a serious flaw in the software design - and then you have to justify it. I had a similar problem when I walked into 'consulting' on someone elses system - they were running a really thin client over a very 'average' LAN - the result was all of the screen calls and .prgs were killing the LAN. Solution (in this case) = fatter client. It was much easier and heaps cheaper. And like you, I had to, umm, 'certify' that this would help by way of my experience.
By definition a database is a storage device - not a 'usage' device :: just like you don't keep all of the folders in your filing cabinet on your desk :: you surely don't keep tables of a DBC open when not in use.
