Re: RDBMS for DOS and Windows
Here here!
I'm a newcomer to the language. I love the way Euphoria handles data, and
would love to use it for a manufacturing control program; it would make my
life much simpler. However, database access is essential for it. Random
access to text files will only take me so far (I don't know how far...any
guidelines?). My data files could end up with over 100,000 records of about
200 bytes each. I have seen comments that there isn't likely to be database
connectivity. Irv Mullins wrote the following a few days ago:

The problem is that handling moderate to LARGE amounts of data is a
fundamental requirement in business programming. Even QuickBASIC has
libraries available for xBase, as does PowerBASIC. My second choice is
PowerBASIC Console Compiler, but I like Euphoria better. (No, I can't write
my own database routines...that is many levels beyond my ability and
available time.) Is Euphoria intended to be a game programming language
only? What is the future vision? Thank you.
