Will winfs be used instead of database (in some certain scenarios)? Hi,
I just installed WinFS beta and took a quick look at those samples. Since I
have been developing .NET smart client application for a couple of years, I
can imagine WinFS can be used as a local storage for offline data, and I
assume in many scenarios that'll be a better choice than MSDE. My question
is, what about the server side? Currently most business applications use
relational databases to store data, will it be possible that some of (at
what percentage?) those applications will use WinFS on the server side
instead to store data like purchase order item etc? (If the answer is yes)
If something needs to be used to bridge the gap between database and WinFS,
will it be ObjectSpace?
Thanks
