Hi guys,

I would like to know your opinion on HFSQL. I've worked with SQL Server for a few years now but I am about to develop a new app and just invested on WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile and don't want to make a new investment on the SQL server driver for now. I also consider PostgreSQL as an option but still I assume there would be a learning curve.

I would be grateful to read some opinions....

I would go with MariaDb. It is a serious database with a native driver in WinDev.
If you're going to use your application on mobile devices, use HFSQL. Otherwise, mariadb/mysql.

Just use HF...

- it's completely integrated with the tools so it's the simplest one to use...

- It will modify the files structures for you when you change the analysis, so it will save you all the time needed to do alter tables and other funny stuff...

- It works EVERYWHERE (mobile, web, windows...) so you wont have to maintain different types of DB here or there...

- and if you use all the standard tools (graphic query editor, by example), your code will be so DB standard that you will be able to change for another DB in minutes if you ever need to...

Working with ANYTHING ELSE without a VERY GOOD reason is a total waste of time...
