Hi, I know very little about Progress. I am trying to work with an
application which has a P database and a windows front end. It uses the
standard Report Writer and I wish to have daily/weekly reports printed off
automatically. Can this be done and if so, where do I start?

Hi All, I am very new to Progress database. I need to know some basic
information about logins for database users. How user authentication is
done? I have downloaded some docs from Progress website but I did not find
any reference to create user or user authentication methods.

I was hoping if anyone can tell me if I can use buffers in a single
Progress query? I am not using a procedure or anything.
thanks

I built a Linux server with Progress database on my network.  My IP address
space is 192.168.2.x, the customer's is 192.168.1.x.  I changed the server's IP

proadsv -start command takes 5 minutes before it ...

creates a duplicate data line at the top of each page from pages 2
through the end of the report.  I have double checked and there are no
duplicate records in the temp-table.

I am new to Progress and having trouble understanding the query
language. Could anyone help me with understanding basic queries in
Progress, as well as complex queries involving outer and inner joins.
Thanks in advance.

How much is a user license for progress ? and what percentage of the amount

I want to do a dump of the database (not a binary dump).
Last night it took around 11hours to dump all the data of a 5.2Gb database.
An ordered bulkload takes around 1 hour (without re-indexing of course).
A binary dump off the same db in similar circumstances only took 20 minutes
