Peter, then you should probably stay away from any of the NoSQL engines, lol.
Many of the features you mention are part of many modern DBMS's, but not all. I'm still nursing a DBMS that is well over 30 years old and it is most certainly not ACID compliant, and it does not provide for data integrity, or triggers, or stored procedures, yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm not referring to a DBMS in my comments. I'm suggesting that even the metaphor that was the inspiration for HC in the 80's is, really, a database. I may have completely forgotten that time (on purpose, even), but as I recall, DBASE at least at one time, was a very simple tab-delimited file structure. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
