1. Re: The Challenge (Re: RDMS Database's and/or Record Managers What good is Euph
It would be very interesting to test the limits of Euphoria. I would like
to see (and I believe many others given recent posting ) if Euphoria could
handle many DataBase transactions over the Web, with a transaction load .
That is, have the
(1) Database written in Euphoria
(2) have the CGI programs written in Euphoria
Perhaps start with a basic model and build up the capabilities (e.g some of
those suggestion as necessary for a DBMS) as a group project.
I've been trying my hand at Euphoria for the the last 6 months and would
love to contribute to such a project.
By doing this perhaps we might be able to settle the arguments about
Euphoria's true limitations, and what enhancements could overcome these
limits.
Regards,
Peter Blonner
