Mediator RDD
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2011 08:16 PM

Hello.

I need to use Mysql as DBF with a RDD. I have found Mediator RDD?.

Anyone is using it?.

I will appreciate some feedback.

Thanks a lot.

We have used Mediator, professionally, for many years.

OTC support is good and product works most seamlessly. we use with MS-SQL Server, all versions.

Don.

I see that there is not RDD for latest Harbour.

I want to use Mysql but with the same commands I use now for DBFS (USE, SELECT, APPEND, RLOCK, PACK, ETC)..

Is that possible with Mediator?.

Thank you.

Mediator works with all DB/Clipper database commands seamlessly, with minor exceptions which are well documented.

in the last 5 years of use, we have seen the OTC vendor very responsive in building new .lib files for upgrades to Harbour, XHarbour, and other compilers.

The support from OTC is very good also.

Please note that there are different librarys used with various versions of Harbour as well as various versions of databases. Example, MS-SQL server version 2000 uses different libraries than MS-SQL server 2008 (therefore Mediator Upgrade).

download there free 3-user library and give it a try. MS-SQL might even be free if I remember correctly.
