When originally conceived, these reviews were going to be "head to head". As more work was done on each product it became apparent that this would be akin to comparing a dragster car to a high powered four wheel drive vehicle. Each product has its own benefits and should be viewed in the light of the requirements of the implementor. To assist we present the following general guidelines.
When To Use Spindex
When fast access to data is required without significant changes to existing program/database structure. When wishing to improve performance of standard RLIST and SELECT statements.
When to Use BondTRV
When designing applications from ground-zero, especially in a network context. When wishing to be introduced to Client Server technology without a significant learning curve. When wishing to improve performance of RLIST and SELECT without any worries about more esoteric RLIST/SELECT functionality.
