Don't hesitate to modernize and advance your applications with true SQL. Its not the future, its the present and you have to catch it. SQL is just language . It's a way to get data back from a database. SQL ist not a technique (not a technical solution). You can have bad or good servers, or good or...

How can I close database in all threads ? Close them in the threads. Put a DbCloseAll() just right before the "RETURN". Another way would be to transfer the tables from the workspace of the thread to the "zerospace" and collect them from there in the main thread. DbRelease() and DbRequest() can do ...

This is a state-of-the-art-control to show any kind of HTML with all stuff needed in there. Just add the asset to your project and navigate t...

There was no new ADS version since almost ten years. SAP bought the ADS because it was part of a kind of bundle. They were never really interested in improving the server. Anyway, it still runs and version 12 is stable. After SAP announced that it would also stop selling licenses, there were some in...
