house since it's release without any major problems. The only issue that we have with it we would also have if we were using 6.15. That is Magic's use of the Btrieve extended operations. We jumped from 6.10 to 7.0. We have had great success using Magic 5.7 and Btrieve. However, the same cannot be said for Magic 8.0 and Btrieve.

From: Bret Wiener <bret@...> I'm a little unsure about something...does MSE support Magic with Btrieve 7? I thought Btrieve 7 was still an "unknown" and therefore MSE won't support it. We have 2 servers in-house...one with Btrieve 6.15.451 and the other with Pervasive.SQL (Btrieve 7). The one with Btrieve 7 doesn't seem to be any faster, and it gives us a ton of problems...frequent Fatal Error 46's are the worst, and I've tested after hours with programs which I KNOW should not cause a 46. I still prefer 6.15. Bret -----Original Message----- From: slevine@... [mailto:slevine@...] Sent: Friday, December 18, 1998 6:46 AM To: magicu-l@... Subject: [magicu-l] Magic for Windows and Btrieve reliability - is anybody really happy? From: slevine@... Back in the old days (through Magic 5), the combination of Magic and Btrieve was "rock-solid" - When something didn't work, it was because of something I did wrong - virtually without exception. Recently, however, I'm seeing an increasing number of significant problems on the maillist related to the combination of Magic 7-8/Btrieve 6.15/7 on multiuser systems. Some of the issues relate to speed, others to record and file locking. I have the uncomfortable feeling that many of the issues raised are not curable by "tuning", but are the result of design problems in Magic or Btrieve (or both). Clearly the correspondence here is heavily weighted toward solving problems, and in that context I'd be interested in hearing about "success stories" - that is, large multiuser systems which work quickly and reliably - and how you got them to function that way. Thanks in advance.
