- data is passed between tiers using XML which is freakishly fast

>Will eventually move to SQL Server or MYSQL as the back end in the next 6 months or so, just so that the tables don't need to be packed. Probably will go with MYSQL just to give us room to manoever if technology changes. Will keep Visual FoxPro as biz tier because of the freakishly fast XML handling.



Hi Evan,

Are you using the default CURSORTOXML() and XMLTOCURSOR() functions to generate and parse the XML? Do you always include the schema when you are passing XML between tiers?


Just curious,
