Worth reading his discussion because it definitely "smells" right in general.<BR/><BR/>Agree, "fast" is what happens when you stay down at the low level. No idea what it's like once you *do* factor in all the new stuff.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to differ on the simplicity.

Easy installation.<BR/><BR/>> It's fast.<BR/>If you stay at the MUMPS level, it is fast. But it has several issues on using objects and complex SQL queries.<BR/><BR/>> It's simple.<BR/>That kind of simplicity I don't think is an advantage. It might be good if you are just writing your programming homework from university, and if you are just doing a prototype as a proof of concept. But if you plan to do something serious, I consider it as a pitfall and a trap.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297138588312146203noreply@blogger.com
