I'm not a FoxPro user, but I was interested in finding out more about the
Rushmore Query Optimization they plan to use in release 2.0 of their product.
The advertisement I read said that a patent had been applied for - does this
mean that other databases would have to license the technology from FoxBase?
The claim was that many queries could be performed one to two orders of
magnitude faster with the Rushmore algorithms.  Are these algorithms
available in publication?  I'd like to see some of the techniques used to
fulfill the SQL queries.

Thanks in advance for any information...

Randy
