Recital is a rich and versatile product with many ways to do the same thing. Developers usually write code in the way that they are accustomed to without paying much attention to how this will perform in a multi-user environment with large amounts of users and transactions. The best way to optimize Recital applications is to use the built-in tuning capabilities introduced in Recital 10.
The SET RELATION Recital Navigational Data Command can be used to link two (or more) tables based on the master index key of the child table. With a relation active, as you move through the parent table, the record pointer also moves in the child table, automatically selecting the first related record or moving to the end of file if no related record exists.
The code above will display the productid from the first related record, but you will often want to display information from all the related records in the child or detail table as in an SQL Left Outer Join.
In this case, we can use a second nested DO WHILE loop, for example:
Or we can use the SET SKIP command. The SET SKIP command can be used with DISPLAY, LIST and REPORT and automatically skips through all the related records in the child table.
LIST and DISPLAY offer a number of keyword options to allow you to configure the display output. REPORT offers full column based report design.
open database southwind
// open child table
use order_details order orderid in 0
// open parent table
use orders order orderid in 0
set relation to orderid into order_details
do while not eof()
? orders.orderid, order_details.productid
skip
enddo

open database southwind
select orders.orderid, order_details.productid;
from orders left outer join order_details;
on orders.orderid = order_details.orderid
In this case, we can use a second nested DO WHILE loop, for example:
open database southwind
use order_details order orderid in 0
use orders order orderid in 0
set relation to orderid into order_details
do while not eof()
// Display first or 0 child record
? orders.orderid, order_details.productid
// Display any additional child records
do while not eof(order_details)
? orders.orderid, order_details.productid
skip in order_details
enddo
skip
enddo
Or we can use the SET SKIP command. The SET SKIP command can be used with DISPLAY, LIST and REPORT and automatically skips through all the related records in the child table.
open database southwind
use order_details order orderid in 0
use orders order orderid in 0
set relation to orderid into order_details
set skip on
set skip to order_details
list orders.orderid, order_details.productid

If you are running your Redhat/Centos or Fedora machine in an enterprise environment you may be sitting behind a network proxy server like squid.
If you try and update or install software it will fail with timeouts or errors contacting the repository mirrors.
To configure YUM to work with your proxy server you need to add the following line to your /etc/yum.conf file.
Anonymous proxy configuration:
proxy=http://yourproxyip:port/
If your proxy server requires authentication add the following lines to your /etc/yum.conf file instead.
proxy=http://yourproxyip:port/ proxy_username=youruser proxy_password=yourpassword
You will be able to update and install software now, give it a go!
There is a good article here this describes agile software development techniques. This is what we have always been doing but it's nice to see it defined formally.
We use this technique ourselves on our development portal.
In this article Barry Mavin, CEO and Chief Software Architect for Recital debunks the myths and misrepresentations surrounding XBase and explains how Recital, an enterprise-class XBase platform, has overcome all the shortfalls and weaknesses of early XBase implementations.
Subclipse is an Eclipse Team Provider plug-in providing support for Subversion within the Eclipse IDE. This plugin is required in order to use the recital eclipse workspace.
Recital 10 enhances the way updating tables with indexes is done. The Recital engine will now evaluate each index individually to determine if any changes being made to the row effect it. If this is not the case then the index is flagged not to be updated. This enhancement helps speed up performance of updates and is particularly noticeable in cluster/network installations.

When the node is clicked set editable to false. Set editable to true in the double-click event handler.
// the click event handler
private function onclick_sourcetree(e:Event):void {
yourTree.editable = false;
}
// the doubleclick event handler
private function ondoubleclick_sourcetree(e:Event):void {
yourTree.editable = true;
yourTree.editedItemPosition = {columnIndex:0, rowIndex:sourceTree.selectedIndex};
}
