John,

>They are not comparable. Eurotunnel 128GB(?) database was VFP only. You cannot compare the two.

>Sure you can...the argument has been that the euro-tunnel is the largest "VFP-App" in the world. That is no longer the case.

>Whats also interesting is how DBF's are all the time - compared to things like SQL Server and Oracle. And now all of a sudden, they cannot be compared.

You should know better. It depends on the context of comparison. You cannot compare a FORD ESCORT with a limousine when it comes to luxury. But when it comes to choosing a car for getting from A to B the most effictive way, they are.

Simular you cannot compare DBFs with SQL server when it comes to ensuring integrity, secority and concurrency. But when it comes down to the most efficient way of solving a just query, they are.
