TurboCASH MYSQL4 VERSION RUNNING LINUX

[Selwyn Wacks]

I am not a programmer , i am a lowly accountant in Sydenham JHB.So expert out there,please go ahead and shout me down,and tell me why I am completely wrong here.

 

I know nothing about programming but i have a hunch that where TurboCASH should get to is this:

 

MYSQL4 database why?  the vast majority of webhosts use this  , I am told it can handle terrabytes of data an hour.Banks use it too

Linux - why? again the vast majority of webhosts run linux.

 

PHP is by far the most popular opensource programming language  ,again ,the vast majority of webhosts run PHP. If we could open TurboCASH to php user contributions it could gain a following like that of oscommerce where there are now >4000 php user contributions.

Dear Selwyn

 

Turbo Cash is not designed for banks or web hosting but accounting.  MYSQL is fine as an engine and a good idea.  Linux is support heavy.

 

Regards

 

Judith

Hi Selwyn and Judith

I would have like to see TC in MYSQL or ProstgreSQL. Having it as a web
client would be nice as it would resolve the multiple user issues but
lets leave that there 4 now.

PostgreSQL, because it is still free, whereas MySql is not, that is 4
pinksoft. We as end-user could run it 4 free.

Just to get back to Judith's remark that "Linux is support heavy." I do
not agree. Linux is build these days so that a home use can take a
install cd and build a full OS with just a few click of the mouse. Yes
building the network, internet, mail etc can be trickier but the
benefits are much grater on the long run. Linux is very stable and we
are running quite a few servers on this OS for months at a time with
limited support.

I think the biggest problem is that TC was build on BORLAND technology
and it is not easy to switch, a full application.

I need to run, to a meeting.

Hi All,

For now, TC 4.0.1.x can handle the multi user, and webserver support much better than TC 3.7.x.
It's of from The Borland to Firebird which is all installed in the first standalone installation.
For installation on a local or webbased server, the fiorebird engine needs to be installed on the server, and connection clients to it is very easy, by just entering IP adres of the server.

I for one think that a linux version is only suitable for Linux users (obviously) and support for Linux, and gaining knowledge of Linux is a process one needs to want to go into.
I, myself don't want to even touch Linux, as it will take me quite some time to even get the first steps of a new OS.
One probably can pop in a cd for a basic installation of Linux, but hey, don't you want more?
So in order to have more, you'll need to know more....
And as there are much more Windows users globally, I think that a Linux version is ok, but absolutly not the definite road to walk by.

Hi all

May I request that we please confine this discussion to the relevant people and not copy everyone. I'm not sure why I'm being copied as I have no understanding of what the discussion is about.

Kind regards
