Re: How to change currency symbol in windows

IMHO at this point it is just easier to use ISO 4217 standard for three-letter intl. currency code and be done with it. https://www.six-group.com/en/products-services/financial-information/market-reference-data/data-standards.html No font hassle, no display problems, clear link between country and c...

Re: New library PowerPar for parallel programming

There is point in processing time and load when xbase is just too slow and you should really consider offloading that processing to something faster than xbase compiled program. Even with slicing task into pararell executed xbase exes those might hardly reach 20-25% of individual vCPU load and will ...

Re: Ads error 5381

Might be this one: Do you still use shraing over SMBv1? (If you don't know sysadmin should know) It is XPP errror because of SMBv1 (which should not be used anymore) related. Programs run from SMBv1 share are not allowed to create sockets. https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/ads-error-5381/q...

Re: Upper Case field names

Postgresql has case sensitive field names when double-quoting inside queries/stored procedures is used. But if you do not double quote them, it works just fine as server side does lowercase comparison if you do not force that on it. Oracle, MSSQL (afaik has option to force case sensitivity) and Mari...

Re: PDF in tooltip?

This is best solution. You will offload pdf processing to already optimized system with integrated solution on xpphtmlviewer(2) ? I think I have stored HTML that has simple logic to display arbitrary pdf (and with modification to it of any other file type supported) through it. If you need that smal...

Re: Apple

As I doubt they want to buy old x86 laptops, you need to test this with current lineup. https://www.techpowerup.com/331239/apple-silicon-macs-gain-x86-emulation-capability-run-x86-windows-apps-on-macos They have free option so you can try it beforehand. https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ It...

Re: ADS vs PG

xpp+sqlexpress solves our need for xpp based programs -> {oracle,postgresql,mariadb} since 2005 ; where it is too little, app server side php/python and stored procedures on servers help . It works reliably and reasonably fast, support is fast and good. On python xpp interface In 2014 Lorenzo Succi ...

Re: ADS vs PG

Python and php are easy to learn. Not that hard at all and integrate greatly in web apps. Add xsharp (open source and activelty developed) into mix of less known xb* suites. A suite that is integrated into .NET system and Visual Studio ; As such it uses latest C# compiler at backend with support for...
