Hi All, we're about to convert our V9 databases to OE10. Down the track I assume much development will go into the applications too. One issue we'll look at before then is replacing the Progress Report Builder with another tool. What is the general consensus about what is best out there? One...

Thanks Jeff, good idea. VisDiff is a bit "quaint". I've done development under Eclipse and Vis Studio, so Roundtable is an "experience".

Thanks HTH, yes the params do have quotes. Our senior(?) Progress analyst has decided to backout the upgrade and start again. He stuffed up propaths and other settings. When he tries again, I'll keep your solution for Visual Diff handy. Regards and have a nice day :cool:

We inserted a tag field into our temp_report table, used to identify that specific run for that user/report. It works quite well, however we've noticed a HUGE increase in processing time at the stage where the report is displayed in the preview. We added an index on that field, and re-saved...

Hi All, I'm a newbie to a DBA role, but have several years dev experience in PROGRESS 4GL. What I'm trying to introduce here at my new home is a simple, automatic Db analysis or monitoring process. I'm aware of dbanalysis and promon, have heard of VST's, but am largely unaware of their...
