Hi :)


I don't understand any of the technicalities of what the devs are
saying about their process but Cor and Alex are saying completely
opposite sounding things so it sounds as though there must be a
bottle-neck somewhere.  


It would be vastly more helpful to join in with the devs that are doing coding work for Base.  
According to Cor there are quite a few people doing such work.  However according to Alex there are 
never many commits (or something).  So, if one of the  bottle-necks is just that someone is needed 
to do the equivalent of proof-reading and pushing through QA then it would be fantastic to do that  
rather than try to create soemothing new from scratch that benefits no-one else and that gets no 
help from anyone else either.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi all,

Base is best when you ignore most of its tools and helpers relying
entirely on your own skills and on the capabilities of the underlying
database driver.


I wish it were otherwise, but sadly, well said.
*laughing*...I'll be damned, I was tempted to say exactly that, pulled
it back at that last second - but yes that is about it.

Honestly - I stopped advising anyone to use Base for anything quite a
while back.


I created a few databases but I found them unstable.... By that, I mean that things would simply 
stop working after an upgrade or after too much data had been added (by large I mean too many 
images so the dataset took many MB rather than too many records). The last time it happened, I just 
stopped using it rather than attempting to find and fix the issue. Toying with writing my own 
application in C++.
