Deceptive ad for VFP 10
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 13 Nov '17

https://www.screencast.com/t/DSoufK8yZhYt Maybe it's just me, but Lianja posting this ad for VFP 10 seems deceptive and not ethical, especially given the Chinese VFP 10 that we've heard about recently and is maybe a growing buzz in the community.

WestWind Web ClrHost and wwDotNetBridge error on Win2K3 Server
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Tried moving a simple VFP9SP2 EXE that works fine on my machine to a different machine (remote from me) where I already had a working VFP9SP2 EXE complete with the runtime files. I moved my EXE, its INI, and the ClrHost.dll, wwDotNetBridge.xml, wwDotNetBridge.dll, and a C# file name Onboarding.dll that's used as a go-between for a webservice call. I get this error though when trying to run it: https://www.screencast.com/t/yRQ04qhs4C My machine is Win7Pro. This remote machine is a Windows 2003 server. I've right-clicked the files to see if there was an Unblock but apparently Win2003Server is too old for that security measure. Ideas? Thanks! --Mike

persistence of sql server database in memory
by Rafael Copquin 11 Nov '17

11 Nov '17

One of my clients uses a VFP9 app with MSSQL SERVER databases Two databases database A stored in the hard disk (C:) databaseB (with confidential data) stored in an external hard disk (E:) The Sql Server Management Studio correctly shows, in each database properties windows, in the files option, that the A database resides in disk C and the B database resides in disk E However, if I physically remove the hard disk (E:), the management studio still shows all tables of database B and select statements show data from the applicable tables. I thought that the data resides in memory in the cache. So I disconnected the SSMS from the engine, even turned off the SSMS. Then, when the SSMS was up again, it would still show the database B (even if its lodging HD was disconnected and put away in a drawer) and queries would still show data from any of the tables. What is going on? How can I prevent this "ghost" behaviour? It is very important that, when the external hard disk is removed, no confidential data can be read at all.

Re: [NF] Open systems Drive you crazy

Uber's been testing self-driving cars around Pittsburgh for a while now, and there haven't been reports of kids or dogs or other cars getting hit. It's still a test, and there's still someone in the front seat, but seeing one of those cars is no longer a novelty. (Other tests are going on in other cities.) -Jerry --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/bTkqRhf6mDm Bullshit. I never got the email. Waited quite awhile too. Frustrating, and this isn't the first time either. Guess I'll try to email Rick directly.

Reminder about VFP compound indexes and best strategy
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 09 Nov '17

VFP9SP2 free table I've got a table with this structure: city c(30) state c(2) radius i distance i My query is looking for city, state, and radius, to get back those whose distance is <= InputParameter. select * from MyTable where city = m.tcCity and state = m.tcState and radius <= m.tiRadius Not sure if I should index on city tag city index on state tag state index on radius tag radius or index on city + state + padl(allt(str(radius)),6,'0') tag MyTag ??? I know I can use SYS(3054) to get my answer but I'm getting ready to be away from the office for a bit and was hoping someone knew the obvious answer. Otherwise I'll run my testing later tonight. (At the very least, hopefully somebody learned about SYS(3054,x,y) today.)
