A weak article with bad information about VFP9 release here.
Some mention of the extended report writer and …
“…FoxPro 9.0… embeds SQL in the FoxPro language, and is more extensible, allowing developers to introduce code that benefits their end user applications.”
How about the *native* SQL syntax has been extended to include virtually unlimited tables, joins, sub-queries and unions; projections, derived tables and enhanced correlation support?
How about new data types, new index types, enhanced data adaptors for cursors and xml?
How about more granular control on how tables are opened, records are refreshed, transactions are implemented?
How about Rushmore enhancements (especially the late breaking improvements to query optimization)?
How about language additions like CAST() and ICASE()?
If you’re gonna try to write an article based on a press release, at least get it fact checked.
Of course, the comments add salt to the wounds…1 Comment on the article entitled "Fox is Dead", then 4 comments on that comment defending the product.
