A5 V9 feature peek #10: Mapped tables
Alpha Platinum now supports mapped tables. These allow you to define virtual tables to display data from one or more physical tables. They also include some or all of the fields in the physical tables, and even calculated columns.
Mapped tables appear in the Control Panel -- just like any other table -- and can be used to build forms, reports, operations, and more, just as you can with physical tables and sets. You can even use Xbasic commands. This video will help you map out the possibilities of mapped tables.

Richard,
Thanks you for all the videos - this is an exciting way of previewing the next version. However, I am confused by the mapped tables - how are they different than sets? In fact, I always thought of sets as "mapped tables". I ma sure there is a difference and that's why now we have those mapped tables, and would like to know what that is.
Also curious:
what is the advantage of a mapped table over a set?
same here ... would like some illumination into how this is different from set?????
