Very good write up. At least form this one particular test, it seems that SQL is faster than any of the other methods, especially MongoDB. Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser and SQLiteAdmin

Re: IEEE Top Programming Languages

Excellent news, thanks Al… I’ve noticed one thing, though. Xojo {ex-Realbasic} was in that Next 50 list a couple of months ago. So, while they ranked down, we got up. Maybe, it’s because they still couldn’t deliver Mobile Development like they promised months ago. I hope RunRev can finish all th
