At this point in time - nothing Last year my shoulder went wonky so between that and TMS'ing my app, and now converting to ElevateDB I seem to have achieved little over the last year or more.

I haven't really done enough yet with ElevateDB to say what its real plus points are but it looks as though the full text indexing will be superior. Hopefully speed will be better and when Tim gets round to putting back the stuff he left out that we loved in DBISAM to achieve standards compliance it will be a strong flexible product.

I could have stuck with DBISAM, I know it and love it, and who cares if a new version ever comes out but a) I'm happy to support Tim and b) ElevateDB should be more future proof.

There's a lot of stuff already there which I need to get my head round (mainly sql stuff like store procedures & views).

Roy, I figured you were British, not just because the time entries on your posts were way off for the US, but because of the way you write your messages. I am british too, your messages have a certian
style. You have said enough to satisfy my curiosity. Fantastic, Thanks.

David I like your Jotme product it looks very nice, what grid
did you use? and I guess its using DBisam.
I also like your website all in all a nice presentation you should
do well good luck.

I'll go with Rita - nice looking website (videos are a bit quiet though), nice looking product. I'm always fascinated, and jealous, about the niches people manage to find.

Good luck.

Roy,

<< deliver ElevateDB 1.07 for Christmas >>

It will be there.  I'm finally starting on the builds today.  The .Net data
provider is done, as is the VCL.NET support, so it's a go.

Roy,

1.07 has full wildcard support for CONTAINS like the LIKE operator.  Meaning
you can do this:

MyColumn CONTAINS '*Test*'

and it will still use the text index to optimize the search.  It will be
slower than just 'Test' or 'Test*', but much faster than actually accessing
the indexed column directly to satisfy the search, especially with large
CLOB columns.
