Greetings List: I just want to share with my Open Source commrads a success story. We have been working on converting a rather large and complex Logistics application from a Commercial database engine and 4GL supplied Progress Software Corp. We wrote the user interface in native X-Windows using C. This is a multi-database application with some rather complex interactions between databases in realtime mode. Most of that work is handled using Perl. Many of the reports are also written in Perl. On August 7, we went live with the application. We have over 200 connections at any given time. The application is very fast. Today, we just closed out our first month on the system. I just wanted to share this with everyone because many of you at different times have answered my various questions and I really appreciate it. This list and those associated with it are a fantastic resource. I hope, after I rest a little, to be able to contribute more to it, at least in answering some of the "simple" stuff ;o] PS: Another commercial database product bites the dust... -- Terry Tucker IT Manager Turbo, division of Ozburn-Hessey Logistics 2251 Jesse Jewell Pkwy NE Gainesville, GA 30501 Tel: (336) 372-6812 Fax: (336) 372-6812 Cell: (336) 363-4719 terry@xxxxxxxx www.turbocorp.com
