The pricing on that website is extremely high, especially for a product that hasn't been updated in 9 years, and has no support. $311+ per user, and the normal configuration is at least a 5 user system. If you look at the Terms and Conditions, it is all about a cloud based solution, which that is no...

Hello Byron,
I checked out your website, and it appears that you have many connections/interfaces with existing systems.
This means you don't have much freedom to implement your own database design, as it is dictated by the partners.
What kind of software do you create exactly?
Best regards,
Otto

... it does, I did find CRUD on Google. Do you have an example of this method? My current app is a hybrid of SQL using OLEDB, and DBF/CDX with the ADS RDD (both using ADS). If my client had a say in this decision I would switch to SQL Server because they have many of the servers installed around ...

Hello friends, Let's forget all this overhead. Switch to RDP, use low-level functions for CRUD operations on DBF. Index files are practically of little use today, and if we ever needed them, we could simply create a new format: DBF FW lite index format - DFX. Investing so much brainpower in somethin...

There are two different installers, one for 32 bit, and one for 64 bit.

... this I can find the provider using a 64 bit requestor, but no 32 (or X86). But again I found if I install the providers via OLEDB.exe from ADS version 8.1 all is good. I also tried to install using the SAP installer on a 32 bit x86 VM (Hyper-V) and the utility failed with an error saying ...

... with .dbf files. I have absolutely no problems with it. Of course my builds are with FWH, Harbour, MSVC, all the most current versions. As for ADS, it was last updated in 2015. The company was great until it was taken over. The current owners sold licenses, and upgrades, for a number of years, ...

I believe I found a solution (even a blind squirrel finds a nut). Seems if you install the OLEDB.Exe from version 8.1 the driver shows in the 32 bit version. And you will see it on the Uniform Datalink app.

... of Windows. The installer errors out and says it does not support the processor type. I have an Intel i9. Doesn't seem to be any support for ADS anymore. I tried calling, splinters in your finger nails would be more amusing.

All, I am currently using ADS 12.0 at a customer site. I have attempted to install the server on my local for testing. When I install OLEDB for 32, and 64 I see in the driver in the Uniform Data Link dialog (take an empty file with a UDL ...

Hello friends, This might be a bit off-topic, but you never know. Since ADS is no longer sold or supported, it could potentially cause issues with a future Windows update. I think it's always good to start looking around in advance. Currently, I'm experimenting ...

Hi Otto,
Thanks for your comment. When I used DBF/ADS files, I used to work with ADS encryption and it works very well.
But now, i need to do tis with MySql.

I've not installed yet but I'll make it in the weekend. I asked about ADS for Linux because I want to test it but it was impossible to find any version. I really don't understand why this great product has been canceled from the market. Maybe Antonio can ask ...
