[REBOL] My project Re:(4)

My understanding is that Ole_Db is a newer standard for database access than ODBC. I wonder if REBOL is also looking at this. Another though slower alternative might be XML, which I think is already there in one of the archived scripts.

Ted: Thanks for your response. My thought is to wait until Rebol has some database capability if I possibly can. Reporting would probably have to be left to some package like Crystal Reports, which could then be published to the Internet, or Seagate Info/Analysis. My big issue is with the inter

Petr: Thanks for your response. If I were to go with Rebol or something else, we would probably upgrade to a database such as Oracle, Codebase or MSSQL . Still ODBC will be slower than foxpro for accessing such data probably. Visual Foxpro has been very good for us so far, we even have the possib

Cheryl makes a very good point. The issue is how does rebol gain market share against products that are free like Java et. al. Naturally, programmers like to have a language that is capable of everything. The best possible situation would be a full package that would be free, next to that it sh
