- I'm working with a group on a large (10k+ lines) C program that manipulates
- large amounts of data in various ways. We want to buy a database so that we
- can perform some more standard manipulations on our output data. The main
- thing is sorting the data quickly on any field. Which program -- Foxpro or
- Paradox, or is there something faster I haven't heard of yet-- is faster
- when sorting huge data files up to 150 meg? can they both handle files of
- this size? if not, which handles larger files, and what are their limitations?
-
- If Foxpro and Paradox are equal in this respect, then it would be helpful
- to know which one is easier to manipulate. Half of us are c programmers who
- could get by either way, but the other half might be aided by an easier
- interface... which program makes this easier to provide?
-
- Response via email appreciated.
