Summary of the day: | |||
* Harm Wibier from Data Access Europe gave a DataFlex NextGen presentation, covering 64-bit and Unicode. Note, you can find out more or contribute to this subject on the page [[Make your applications work in DataFlex NextGen]]. | |||
* Next up, David Knowles from DonorFlex gave an informative presentation on how he has used [https://www.dataaccess.eu/products/dataflex-reports-245 DataFlex Reports] to significantly reduce the number of Crystal Reports that they were previously using. | |||
* Harm then gave an overview of how to cleanup your code for DataFlex 19.1. This is an optional process and is mostly handled through a new compiler warning system. Your existing applications will continue to run the same, but you may need to make a few changes. You can read more about code cleanup in the [https://docs.dataaccess.com/dataflexhelp/#t=mergedProjects/Welcome/Language_and_Code_Cleanup.htm DataFlex Help - Language and Code Cleanup] | |||
* Peter Bragg showed us how DonorFlex developed a new Web application based on their extensive DonorFlex Windows application. It was very interesting to see how the Web app that Peter demoed was using virtually out of the box settings. | |||
* Mike Peat talked about MySQL, DataFlex, MariaDB and Aurora and gave some price and speed comparisons for them. | |||
* Lastly, we rounded up with a general question and answer session - always useful to hear other people's suggestions and solutions to your own problems! | |||
The date for the next UK DataFlex Group meetup was set for the 13th May 2020. | |||
