    ARC 9.10.0.23 Window position bug on startup

    The main window position and size is always wrong. The window appears in the lower right corner of the screen and one must minimize it, then maximize it to have it placed properly and cover the entire screen.
    Previous versions did not exihibit this problem.

    Open Advantage Service properties page from Configuration Utility

    If the Advantage service fails to start, my first step is to check the Advantage Configuration Utility and try to start it. If this doesn't work, it takes 5 or 6 mouse-clicks to get to the Services Control Panel.

    It would be convenient if there was a button right on the Config Utility to open t... more

    Editing a view requires exclusive access

    You can't edit a view while tables are in use, you get an invalid open mode error. If possible, please remove this requirement so views can be edited on a live system. Thanks.

    "Official" Benchmarking App

    I’d like an “official” benchmarking app. How can I tell that my server is performing optimally, and/or totally benchmark the system? I often need to answer questions like: “How many queries are running per second? What’s the throughput?”

    Option to explicitly instruct the ADS-driver to open local files with read-only file access

    We are using ADS LOCAL SERVER for two different features:
    1) File-based limited Multi-user (max 5) data reading/writing
    2) File-based read-only data access for certain non-modifiable data

    Regarding the first feature, the read/write access is OK and the limitation of 5-users is perfect (and u... more

    Add Port Parameter to AdsConnect

    This would allow another option to eliminate discovery errors (6420) in addition to specifying a port in the ConnectPath or ADS.INI file.

    I would foresee the port parameter overriding a LAN_PORT setting in an ADS.INI file, and possibly throwing a connection error if different than a port provid... more

    add ability to compile ads-php as php module under Linux

    Hello!
    It would be great to add the ability to compile ads-php as php module without recompiling whole php.
    It's very convenient to install / update php itself from binary repositories of modern Linux distributives, and only compile ads-php as php module from sources.
    Now it's something wrong ... more

    ARC SQL Utility right-click highlighted text and get help topic

    It could spawn the help file, or even open a new tab in the sql utility that hosted the help topic. This suggestion came from Gary at a recent training. I think it's a great idea.

    SQL_timeout

    Delphi TADSQuery now has SQL_timeout.
    It would be nice to have published events
    onSQL_timeout - to provide feedback to the user
    and
    onQuerySQL_timeout - to provide the ability to allow or stop a timeout .

    Architect should share query params if they have the same name.

    Why is it that when I run this batch query...
    update table1 set column = :param;
    update table2 set column = :param;
    update table3 set column = :param;
    update table4 set column = :param;
    update table5 set column = :param;

    Architect asks me to enter the param 5 times. If I wanted 5 distinc... more
