As the data in IRis grows, will it cause IRis to become slower or break down performance?
One of the reasons we chose to develop IRis using Visual FoxPro is because of its Rushmore technology processing/search engine which optimizes the indexing performance of applications written in VFP. It is precisely this technology that prompted Microsoft to purchase the FoxPro language from its original developer. The Rushmore technology is, and has been, the leading technology for over a decade. All databases require periodic indexing. VFP and Rushmore provide an incredibly stable, powerful, and–above allfast, indexing technology to VFP applications. Indexing performance only becomes an issue when users are consistently removing data records and then restoring them or re-inputting new records with very similar index keys. All databases (in any programming language) require periodic indexing and compacting, which is why IRis 3.0 comes with a built-in feature for both.
