UniRes Development Platform Specifications


UniRes is was created using Visual FoxPro ! A relational database system with unsurpassed power.


Below is an excerpt from the Published Specification of Visual FoxPro. UniRes uses the capabilities of this superb

RDMS software to provide a structured and easy to use solution for your reservation Software needs here in Australia.


UniRes was created by Ron Overliese for Caravan Park Owners and Managers alike, as an affordable solution to your booking and billing needs.


Development started in 1989 when Arcbase Pty Ltd was formed and incorpoirated in Queensland, Australia and as at this date (November 2018), development and refinements are ongoing.


Thank you for your interest.



Different parts of Visual FoxPro have system capacity limits. The following tables list these limits.



Specification are for the Development Platform used for UniRes and apply to limits as specified.


VFP is .NET compatible.

Technical Details for the interested persons.




Table and Index Files

Feature

Capacity

Maximum # of records per table file.

1 billion

Maximum size of a table file.

2 gigabytes

2 gigabytes

Maximum # of characters per record.

65,500

Maximum # of fields per record1.

255

Maximum # of tables open at one time2.

65,535

Maximum # of characters per table field.

254

Maximum # of bytes per index key in a non-compact index3.

100

Maximum # of bytes per index key in a compact index3.

240

Maximum # of open index files per table2.

Limited by available memory

Maximum # of open indexes in all work areas2.

Limited by available memory

Maximum # of relations.

Limited by available memory

Maximum length of relational expressions.

Limited by available memory


Fields

Feature

Capacity

Maximum size of character fields.

254

Maximum size of numeric and float fields.

20

Maximum number of characters in field names in a free table.

10

Maximum number of characters in field names for a table contained in a database.

128

Minimum value of an integer.

-2,147,483,647

Maximum value of an integer.

2,147,483,647

Digits of precision in numeric computations. Visual FoxPro can handle numbers up to 9007199254740992 (2^53) in exact computations.

16

Miscellaneous:

64 bits = 8 bytes

Largest number = 10 ^ 308 = 2 ^ 1023

-> 10 bits per exponent + 1 for exponent sign plus 1 for number sign => 12 bits

Leaving 52 bits for the mantissa + 1 for implied normalized bit -> 53 bits

LOG10(2^53) = 15.95 decimal digits accuracy




Variables and Arrays

Feature

Capacity

Default # of variables.

16,384

Maximum # of variables.

65,000

Maximum # of arrays.

65,000

255

Maximum length of a string literal.

255

Maximum file size accessible via low level file functions

2 gigabytes

1 If one or more fields allow null values, the limit is reduced by one to 254 fields.

2 Limited by memory and available file handles. .cdx files use only one file handle.

3 If the collating sequence is set to MACHINE, each character uses one byte. If the collating sequence is not set to MACHINE, each character uses two bytes. If the indexed field supports null values, one additional byte is used in the index key. Note that non-machine indexes are always compact.
