Existing V9 Users
This information is intended as a quick reference to demonstrate how easy it is to move from previous versions of c‑tree database technology to the latest c‑treeACE. Because c‑treeACE is a flexible tool that has enjoyed great longevity, it is impossible to anticipate every situation that will be encountered when upgrading. As always, our outstanding engineering team is ready to assist at every opportunity. Feel free to contact your nearest FairCom office for advice and guidance before migrating your application. We have helped successfully migrate many original c‑tree applications to our very latest versions, sometimes within minutes.
c‑treeACE V9 introduces several minor compatibility issues of its own that you should be aware of when moving forward:
- Extended Headers now included by default on all new files created by c‑treeACE.
- Commit Read Lock support is default and requires record locks on any update.
- Files created by c‑treeACE SQL are HUGE by default.
