Last Edited: November, 2016
Summary
Most DataFlex applications today run on one of the leading SQL databases with Microsoft SQL Server being the most popular choice. SQL databases do not suffer from the OpLocks risks or recent changes to the SMB protocols. Data Access Worldwide highly recommends that customers move DataFlex web, mobile and Windows desktop applications still using the file system "embedded database" to an SQL database as soon as possible to avoid the issues discussed below and to enjoy better performance, reliability and scalability.
