Rev Internal Data Structures

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Another thing,

With Custom Properties and Custom Property sets using array notation,
you can arrange your data in all sorts of complex ways, if needed.

Michael,
If the field is hidden you may have no problem.
If the field containing the database is visible, you will probably 
encounter two problems:
1. the maximum number of characters in a line in a visible field is a 
little over 65,000
2. fields with lots of characters and tabs do not display well
I switched the tabs to "|" (the shift character on top of "\" on the US 
keyboard) - much easier to see when visible.
I started a project using a field as a database and switched to a 
custom property.
The cp was obviously faster - and appears to have no limits - beyond 
the fact that it must fit in RAM.

   Everyone, thanks for the help.

If I used Fields (or tables in fields)  in a data stack that is hidden, 
what
is the limit to the number of entries from the user?


If I can figure out where to put all the data that I know will be 
generated,
I can make good progress toward the app.   Does anybody have a 
miniexample
that they can share that shows User Entry Fields going to such a TABLE 
or
FIELD WITH GRIDS&TABS.


I assume that the TABLE or FIELD WITH GRID&TABS would operate like a
traditional DB table.  Or bad assumption, too much early eggnog?

Thanks,
Michael
