SQL DataSources - prototyping only??

Smart GWT Technical Q&A

Hi,

you write under (http://www.smartclient.com/docs/6.5.1/a/b/c/go.html#group..sqlDataSource)

SQL DataSources
For prototyping purposes, the ISC server supports basic SQL connectivity for DataSources defined in XML. Because the request processing flow for the built-in SQL engine is identical to the flow used for integrating with other Java storage engines, when your application grows past prototype stage you can switch to a different storage engine without wasted work.

Why is this for prototyp only? Are there any disadvantages when it is also productive uses? Performance, options …?

Thanks

That documentation is from an older version and is no longer applicable. SQL DataSources are very much production ready and suitable for high performance operations.

Please read the SmartGWT EE documentation instead.
