Sybase to Access

Bummer for you. I've had VB desktop applications using Access as a
back-end that had 75 users and 500MB+ of data, with no problem
whatsoever. There's no reason that wouldn't work for sstory, if he
didn't want to use SQLServer.

I disagree.

I don't know or care how much effort it took; all I know is that ADP is
a better platform.

MDB is for lamers and ****ing retards.

it makes no sense for newbies to learn TWO DIFFERENT DIALECTS OF SQL.

That is the FATAL FLAW WITH MDB-- It shouldn't be targeted at Junior
Developers.
And it's not reliable enough for normal developers.

I just don't believe you when you say that you've had 75 users and
500mb data.

I've had a dozen MDB files with a total of 1.5 gb crap out left and
right.
and I've had a single MDB split properly into front end and back end
(gag) that can't support a half dozen users.

Well, it doesn't matter to me whether or not you believe me. The
application is still running 2 years after I left, and the database
is now about 900MB. Their only complaint is how long it takes to
compact it...

rofl

you ****ing retards still kick users out of the databases in order to
compact and repair?

how ****ing antiquated

I mean seriously your little bullshit dime-store solutions aren't
trouble free.

they just send their work elsewhere since you're a ****ing newbie
Access baby mother ****er

-Aaron
 
No, they usually compact it in the middle of the night.

Try not to be unnecessarily abusive, Aaron. You don't comprehend
why the solution was chosen, and I'm not going to explain it to you,
because all you'll do is whine about VB going away.

I whine because they killed off vb6.. then they killed off ACCESS by
bringing back DAO

I'm sick and ****ing tired of a new data access layer every 12 months

and I refuse-- militantly-- to use DAO again.

that is why I am in the VB newsgroup-- to bitch about the first
misdeed--- the death of VB because now that Access is a dead issue then
I need to bitch up a storm to the 'real vb' lol

as if

vb has been dead for 5 years; and microsoft's lack of commitment to the
language makes me disgusted.

MIcrosofts' first development tool was for BASIC wasn't it?

Why have they turned their back on the worlds most popular programming
language?
