It was in 2008 October ;) So maybe the topic could need some actualization. Most importantly we have (thanks to Mindaugas) RDDSQL since (committed in 2008 December), which gives us a very nice and natural base for accessing SQL (or in fact any 3rd party) data sources. In fact by now we have a base driver for all SQL vendors you mention except DB2, well, and ADO. [ But seeing the "huge" interest in touching RDDADO, maybe this isn't such a miss. Perhaps we could have and sddusr and ado implemented as .prg SDD. ] We also have the naming right. > Even the programming style can be very different, f.e. my apps are > tbrowse centric others don't use tbrowse at all. > > IMHO what we call xBase doesn't exist.

Sorry but I cannot remember the exact discussion details, we also had a enormous amount of development, plus quite possibly lots of new followers since then, so it'd still be great if you could "reopen" the topic with that (and RDDSQL) in mind.
