Hi David,
The other thing you must watch out for
is if the FrontBase data dump was created on a PowerPC Mac or an Intel
one.
Why? Because of big and little endians.
It will cause you gas if your Mac is not of the same architecture as the
one that created the dump.
1)
If you are on Intel and the dump was
created on Intel, no problem.
2)
If you are on Intel and the dump was
created on PowerPC then you must be sure you have "Rosetta" installed
and then run the PowerPC version of FrontBase through Rosetta emulation
on your Intel Mac. It's not bad, it still performs fast and you will be
able to use the data dump.
Pity the de-dump process doesn't deal
with endian issues. I believe other databases do deal with this, including
MySQL ;-) Though why you guys aren't using FireBirdSQL is a mystery to
me. It was used in the US Army's M1 Abrams tank so it's gotta be awesome.
