Hi.
Is this software commercial ? Or is freeware?

Thanks !

A good question - Dilwyn's site only has the demo version...

BSJR on here is the person to ask as he wrote Suqcess together with Wolfgang Uhlig

It appears that the earlier v1.20 was released as freeware - http://members.upc.nl/b.spelten/ql/suqcess1.html

(Dilwyn - this can presumably be added to the QL Homepage now)

Done, thanks RWAP.

Hi All,

I have removed the trail limitation for SuQcess 2.05 on my site.
Three language versions can now be downloaded here: <http://members.upc.nl/b.spelten/ql/>.
I have used it almost daily over the past 10 years and am aware of bugs in the program, although nobody else has reported any problems.
I am busy testing the fixes and updates but I do expect to need a few more weeks before v2.06 is finished.

SuQcess forever,
Bob

Does Suqcess or better DBas (which seems to be the underlying Database) allow (outer) joins as in a SQL-RDBMS? Like e. g.

SELECT * FROM weather LEFT OUTER JOIN cities ON (weather.city = cities.name);

in SQL? This is IMHO the most missing facility in "old" databases like dBase or Archive.

I do not speak SQL so cannot answer this question.

The DBAS command SEARCH can select records on 4 fields with INSTR, greater, smaller, greater-equal, smaller-equal or unequal, which can be combined with AND, OR, XOR & NOT.
Clever use of this can maybe mimic what you need. May I suggest you try the Search option in SuQcess.

No, DBAS don't use SQL and is not a database, is a storage engine.

I know, but joining tables does not mean, that SQL must be supported. Joining means, that you can make a query over more than one table. That has nothing to do with SQL.

What joining, especially outer joins, means is e.g. documented in the manual of PostgreSQL
