Backup/Restore when the DB is under heavy load needs a lot more time. Having that said, I´d expect 10 GB to be backup/restored within a few minutes. So 45 min are worth looking where the time goes to. Is the load that heavy? Goes the backup to the same disks where the database files are located? Maybe a shortage of memory? Maybe maintenace plans are worth looking: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/maintenance-plans/create-a-maintenance-plan?view=sql-server-ver16

If or if not you want to make money selling your product, depends solely on you. Do you need the money? Are you willing to build up everything necessary for running a business thet sells software? Programming is one thing, but dealing with customers, supporting them, answering the same question over and over again, building up a web site with info, docs and much more, is the other thing. The software you sell is the top of an iceberg only. And in times of social media and everyone feeling the urge to articulate, it is mandatory to avoid bad custommer feedback. Nice idea. :- ) - Avoid the mantra "Go big or go home". Instead grow controlled and controllable. - Whatever you do, keep in mind, that technology changes quickly and stay up to date. - Legacy software is a nightmare. - Always double: prices, estimations, schedules. - Establish a team, find coworkers. They will help you in hard times. HTH Bernd

+1 to what @Attila Kovacs says. Additionally you can use SQL Express both locally as well as in a network setup.

No, no tool I know of. But I often wanted, when editing, to have a window where - without any interaction from my side - in formation about the context I am in, is shown. Some of this is already avail, but cluttered around: - current method/class - type definition - qs metrics (already initalized, created, defined, ..., code metrics) - hints (remember to free, ...) - references inside, outside One more thing, I valued much, long ago (MicroFocus Cobol Debugger :- ) The ability to restrict the level of step into when using F7.

- Allow configuration of all Short-Cuts (including 3rd party) - PreProzessor - enhanced source code navigation, eg "live" window with references - AI integration for search in Delphi docs and references - AI integration like Google NoteBookLM for internal docs and internal source code

I too tried to get some pricing infos. But they insist on having a call, getting details on the project (kind of "validating") and are not willing to outline any licensing infos without that. @Ian Branch Do you use that system on a daily basis? Are you willing to share some background infos, eg number of users, kind of software, hardware requs?

Impressive. Wow.

What was the problem and how did you solve it?

First advice: Measure. Without measurement, you are blind. NexusQA has a method profiler, that shows you, what methods are called, how many times and how much time is spent. Once you have this data, you can identify bottlenecks. Besides this: What usually increases performance a lot: - sorting and filtering done not at the client but on server side - caching data - avoiding disk access

No need to buy a book. Google for "principles of modern ui ux design" and there is a bunch of info. Additionally there are how-tos and guidelines from both Microsoft and Apple publically available.

Today is June, 23rd, you requested the licenses June, 22nd and 21st. So technically "a few days ago" is not correct. Give them a bit more time, I remeber, that my licenses needed indeed a few days to be activated.

Cleaned up the search path and because I had some spare time updated al my components. And now the compile finishes without error. So , no, there is AFAIK no length problem with BrccCompile. Unforunately I have no idea, what was the cure. :- (

BrccCompile fails with ..\..\images\GXIcons.rc : error : Error Could not open input file C:\RAD_Lib\GExperts\Projects\DelphiXx110Alexandria\FN C.RC This is misleading error, because there is no FNC.RC. Is there a limitation for the -ic<path> with BrccCompile? My path is quite long and this is the only explanation I find, why thos error could occur. Any idea, how I can work around this? Or am I missing something? Thanks fpr every hint!
