Because you are giving an overview of Databases vs Record Managers
and then saying how good record managers are.

I looked at the tsunami record manager in the past but not since you
created your eu wrappers.
I'm not saying the tsunami record manager is bad in anyway at all.

I listed (and hence agree) that there is more work in setting up and
mainting a RDBMS.
>From a programming point of view SQL can give you alot of flexibility
and power that record managers don't give you. And yes, it will take
more time for a developer to learn these things but that time should
be recoped in the long term by the efficiency of these powerful
tools and technologies.

I beleive it's true.

I agree, I personally don't think Euphoria can handle large complex
systems.
That doesn't mean that I wouldn't use a database for a Euphoria
project though ;)
Just like in some cases record managers "could" be used in some large
complex systems.
Every case needs to be reviewed and a decision made based on the
features required.
The only reason I replied in the first place was that "I" thought
you gave a one sided view.
