Gustav, I think you could modify the Wikipedia entry to be correct! Dan -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 3:44 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Friday/weekend scaring reading: Wikipedia and JET Hi all - or perhaps indeed our JET specialist, Jim Dettman Here is a scaring example that not everything in Wikipidia is to be trusted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Jet_Database_Engine That entry is so full of confusing, mixed up and misleading facts and incorrect version info that a major rewrite is requested. (My time doesn't allow, sorry). And why everything is written in preteritum and not presens as if JET has passed away, I don't know. For example, it fools around from paragraph one with JET, SQL Server and SQL Server Compact Edition - and states that SQL was introduced in "later versions". And if you stand reading through this mess, at the end the author claims transactions to be introduced in JET version 4.0. Much can be said about JET but it certainly deserves a more trustworthy description. /gustav -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
