Support for Jet databse engine
|
|
|
| Hi there
I heard that Microsofy was dropping support for the Jet database engine. Is
this true ?

| Complete twaddle.
For ane example of what Microsoft is saying about the next version of
Access, see:
http://msaccessadvisor.com/doc/14978
Example statement:
Microsoft Access lead program manager Clint Covington says, "You'll find a
strategic commitment to radically upgrade the quality of Access applications
by improving the core forms and reports experience, using Jet as the query
processor."

| Here's a post I pre-wrote, but was much too scared to send without the support
of someone like Allen (who knows much more)
----------
Not that I've heard of. Though I've no idea what their new plans are, A2003
must be nearly due for replacement (on Microsoft's timescale)
Anyone else?
> Microsofy
I LOVE it!!!

Jet was on the 'fixes only, no development' list.
It appears that MS may have changed their mind.
Microsoft Exchange has not completed it's move from a Jet-type
database to SQL Server. Also, there is no clarity about what is
happening to file-system indexing, search, and data retrieval. If
MS gives us Google-like ability to find and use data on our hard
drives, then a database engine which uses the database services
provided by the file system may make sense again.
