hello i have a question. one of the database i wrote have a stack error....yes, i know wht a stack is. i don't know wht is wrong with it. it only happen occationally. it is a 4th Dimension database. any clue on wht might be wrong????? any comment / suggestion is welcome !! bye thanks in advance

The most common reason for stack errors in 4th Dimension has to do with not properly exiting from a procedure before another procedure is called. For instance, stacking up successive MODIFY SELECTION commands will eat up the stack eventually. Another less common cause would be if recursion were being used incorrectly. For obvious reasons, this will eat the stack also. If you are having this problem often, try calling ACIUS at 408-252-4444 and go over your code with them, or, if you have a Compuserve account, discuss it with the dozens of 4D developers that frequent the ACIUS forum.

Sorry to bother netters but a friend of mine who isn't net connected is
interested in Geographic Information Software (GIS),Land Information
Software (LIS) and related databases to this. He doesn't care what kind
of hardware they run on all he is interested in is what they do. The
reason he is looking for them is because has written a software package
for the Archimedes to do this kind of work and he wishes to compare
what he has written with comercially available software and see it is
good enough to be sent to a software house. And me being the eternal
mugins suggested sending a request for information out on the net.
Accordingly if you know of any software that are of the types above
could you please send a short email summary of what the sofware is,
what is can/cannot do,what hardware it runs on and an idea of how
much it costs. If you send the email to me I will forward it on to
him.
Any help would very much appreciated,
Philip R. Banks.

Subject: Want to procure a CD-ROM Server - recommendations requested.

The communication protocols we are currently running are XNS and TCP/IP, and the network operating system is Ungermann-Bass NET/ONE . We currently have a six drive Pioneer CD-ROM Changer DRM-600 Laser Memory which was connected to the Ethernet and tested for three clients accessing simultaneously. The response time was roughly 10.8min. We would like a product that has a response of roughly 300msec for over 5000 users.

Hello! We are interested in doing a study comparing the features, capabilities, useability, ease of leaning, etc. of four database systems: Oracle Ingress Sybase Informix Does anyone know of anyone having a similar or related study already done, perhaps for different databases? sarah@uxv.larc.nasa.gov ========= 128.155.2.45 uxv.larc.nasa.gov ( a gateway) 128.155.3.35 ns.larc.nasa.gov (another gateway) 192.80.214.100 noc.sura.net (another gateway)

There are two answers to this: 1. Any study will tend to show what the 'studiers' want it to show. It's almost impossible to find somebody without an axe that needs to be ground. 2. You can't compare the products against one another unless you've previously described as the problem to be solved and the parameters around which the solution may be implemented. Suggestion: List what's important to the solution and then go look for products that fit -- or can be made to fit -- your list of important points. /Bill You're nothing without referential constraints.
