So...if the application works with the database in the application as
designed, then it's okay with RS?
I would like to try working with an idea I'm kicking around, but I don't
like the idea of designing something that would end up requiring the
full SQL database in Pro and having a client purchase both the
application and a license from RS for the database portion. I can't
find material that clearly defines under what circumstances the database
in Pro vs. Standard would not be suitable for different purposes.
