If you can do this with a claude, the sky is the limit :)

 

Open source ADS will certainly be a fascinating thing.

 

Regards, NB

Hello,

Do you think openADS will work like the old ADS?

After building in just one month Harbour Builder for Windows, Mac and Linux using Claude Code, I thought about something more challenging, and thats how OpenADS project idea arrived.

I must admit I am really impressed about the quality of code and superb design Claude Code is using. You can review the GitHub repo source code and check it for yourself.

Claude Code has built the roadmap, the steps, the testers... all of it comes from its AI engine and info grabbed from the Harbour project source code. I just observe how it builds it. I have not coded a single line of it.

No reverse engineering has been done at all. I carefully asked Claude Code to stay legally safe. If there are any objections, we will remove the repo. There is no commercial interest at all in this.

Please review the project license. 

best regards

Hello again :)

Do you think open-ads will work under Clipper?

Hi Antonio,

in order to understand how good is AI for programmers (I attended a brainstorming call this morning that was both entusiatic and disturbing) can you please share one "session" or how it is called, an interaction with Claude Code where you ask to do something and how it works it out? And how many "credits" it uses.

Outcomes from the session today was: "what happens when the credits end?" "what happens if we switch AI?" "what happens if we manually change the code?" "if Claude develops, what should we do with the developers? get rid of them?" "Who to blame if a bug slips in the code tests?"

Anyway, really impressive code (despite I don't actually know what ADS really is... a double faced, dbf/sql database?)

Hello

SAP Advantage Database Server (ADS) is an embedded client-server database engine that enables your Harbour/xHarbour applications to transition from traditional DBF files to a transactional, secure, and scalable architecture without rewriting your code.

One of my long-standing wishes is that someone would take over the SQLRDD library from xHarbour and actively maintain and improve it.

It’s a powerful tool and, in my opinion, a great gateway for developers who want to move away from DBF files and start using SQL databases with minimal initial effort. At the same time, it offers plenty of room to gradually evolve and enhance applications over time.

Having an actively maintained SQLRDD would make a huge difference for the Harbour/xHarbour community and could help many developers modernize their systems more smoothly.
