I have a project that might involve using RBase as a front end to a SQL Server database. I know it can be done, but I've never done it myself yet. Would people who have done this please privately email me so that we can start a conversation on the ins and outs of getting it to work well?

I'm with you and want to hear the answer. I just received an RFP that the only requirement is that it be SQL server acessible and I'm trying to figure out how to respond to it.

I would like to hear about this also.
The very first and most important condition is that you MUST use R:BASE Turbo V-8 or R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64), currently under private beta. Here is the illustration that should explain the interface: http://www.rbase.com/rbg8/rbaseforeveryone.jpg The key is the seamless ODBC connection with full access and user rights that attaches and manages SQL, ORACLE, IBM DB2 databases with long table and column names and the long integer data type. R:BASE Turbo V-8 and R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64) both support database, table, and column names up to 128 characters with the added BIGNUM data type for compatibility. Once the desired server tables are successfully SATTACHed, everything should look like the native R:BASE tables. Then, do what you have to do to create a fine user interface that allows your user to manage and monitor data using forms, external forms, labels, reports, etc. Just imagine what you can do with R:BASE! If anyone would like to see a live applications using R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64) as a front-end in a big corporate and government environment, let me know and I will give you a private tour of what R:BASE is capable of doing today! You will have to fly in with your clients and see it yourself. Very Best R:egards, Razzak. Related links: . http://www.rbase.com/rbg8 . www.RBASEeXtreme.com
