Title: Re: Witango-Talk: Search Engine Format Type That would be great Steve. Back in the old days of Butler (EveryWare's original main product), one of the main shortcomings of it as a SQL engine was it's inability to do contained searches well. One way of getting around that problem was a

John, Is there a reason you want to use ODBC rather than JDBC? That is extremely easy to set up, and drivers can be had for most DB engines pretty readily (and for free to boot). I don't have any speed comparisons, but I haven't heard a lot of complaints about it either. Jason On Apr 27,

Jason, I've just heard that JDBC is very quirky, and I'm way more familiar with ODBC. But I'll give it a try. One advantage I guess is that it's a good way to communicate with Filemaker. And I'm mostly doing this on a development machine, so speed under load is not that essential. John

Hi John I understand where your coming from because I had been using ODBC on OS 9 for years. Then Apple change to OSX and my ODBC system fell apart. I finally when to OSX, upgraded to OpenBase Witango 5. I, like you, read all the posts here and printed out a lot of them, but the whole thing

While it is true that JBDC works and is fairly easy to setup, it must run through the VM, and will not have the same level of performance as ODBC. I worked on this for some time a while ago. These are the steps that I found worked for me and my clients. First install witango server v.

Witango-Talk: logging and security

Many times we leave Witango logging turned on so we can debug a problem after it's been reported by a user. When that site is one that does e-commerce, there is a problem. The Witango log contains all the post arguments passed in and variable changes etc... that data could be sensitive, and

I agree that those files are something to consider. You might want to think about making a simple BAT that would zip/encrypt/password the files each night. They would then be available to you if you wanted. The suggestion of post processing, perhaps with a regex command is also valid. An

That's what I thought. We typically have the logging set to show actions. Which takes up a lot of disk space, but is very helpful in proving that there was user error in some situations. I'm considering just shutting down logging right now. I just know that if I do i'm going to get a call

Is the logging something that you can turn on after, to try to reproduce a problem that a user has reported? Or do you need to be able to go back over the log files after a user has reported an error. If it is the former, what I do is to have a developer's taf that allows me to go in and turn

While it is true that JBDC works and is fairly easy to setup, it must run through the VM, and will not have the same level of performance as ODBC. This is not entirely true. On the first call it is slower, but on subsequent calls to the driver the JVM has cached the driver in a compiled
