Hi All

Just a general poll to see which versions everyone is using and why.

Knowing  which version is best to to use for wide distribution across multiple environments
would be useful to know based on installations in the field.

Kind Regards

Kamran,

The latest version/build is always the most stable.  Every version/build is
regression-tested.

Kamran,

Tim said it all.
I have been using DBISAM for about 10 years and my experience tells me that the best is always the latest, and when ,in rare occasions, a new release screws up something, the next build will *for sure* fix it in a very short time. You can count on that.

Our rule of thumb is that any version we deploy to customers has to have
been out for few months minimum (with no issues reported that would
affect us).
if app is stable we also hold off updating to newer versions until there
is enough changes/fixes to warrant a full q&a again.

Generally with this process we've found dbisam to be very stable and
have customers running 24/7.

Beware of this method, months can swiftly become years (or are they
decades?) - we have found DBISAM 3.0 quite stable now Wink

Jeff,

We still issue regular updates to our application and since DBISAM is
practically invisible to all of our customers it does get updated for
most of them eventually. Most of our customers on maintenance are on
4.29+ at this point.
