Tim,

Is cascading update / delete something we can see soon (as restrict is the
only choice now)?

RESTRICT will do in a lot of 1:n situations I have in an old dbIsam project
that I am doing from scratch now in EDB, but for n:n relations the CASCADE
option is most needed there.

Probably not until the enterprise server version is done.  The issue is an
architectural one with respect to how the transaction locking works
currently.

Tim,

-What exactly is the "enterprise server version"?
-Is (full) RI only in that or also in EDB standard?

I know you are very busy with EDB development (1.03 o the way) and updating
the docs. However, is it possible to give an estimated timeline on when
certain things are 'planned' to come, such as RI, SQL scripts, EDBman
enhancements, etc or is this just to difficult to say?

Regards, Harry

I think this is going to be the c/s only version so that locking tables during a cascade is easier than in a mixed f/s c/s environment.

Sorry, it's our higher-end server version that I'll be working on later this
year.  It will be like EDB now, but won't do file-sharing, will have a
single-file database, etc.

RI is present in EDB now, only without cascading support, only restrict.

I'll see if I can get our Current Developments page updated for EDB shortly
so that you can see what's coming.

Correct.   The good part is that it should be entirely identical to existing
EDB remote sessions/client applications.  Only the back-end will change.
