mrTables, for customers   Message List

Re: mrTables, for customers

JohnT was over here about a year ago and at that time his pricing
made SQL-Server look like Linux. A lot of functionality but
potentially overwhelming for client use. On the other hand mrTables
usability has a way to go as well. We know it's a focus of the next
release so hopefully they'll pull off some improvements.

My biggest concern with using mrTables for end customers is the
concurrent user licensing model. Not sure how to deal with that for
multiple clients each with a variable number of potential users.
Doesn't seem totally thought out.
