FiveDB? somewhat disturbing

I found this statement in a FWINTRO.PDF file written by James Bott.

FiveWin comes with a simple database class, but, in order to develop multi-user applications you will either need to purchase a separate database class (FiveDB) or you will need to write your own. The FiveWin TDATABASE class is a good start, but it doesn't provide any file/record busy messages or automatic retry capabilities which are essential for multi-user applications.

Do I need FiveDB too?

Many thanks

Ollie.

Ollie,

Thats an outdated info. Class TDataBase is finished and complete and can be safely used, in fact it is used by many FWH users.

Phew. Thanks.

I thirst for documentation / examples.

Where can I find examples using the TDatabase class etc.

I got a lot of info from DBF01.PRG - but it wasn't enough.

I don't want to have to bug you guys all the time.

Many thanks

Ollie.

Ollie,

There are several more articles on using database classes on my website here:
