Superbase95 for Windows - The Relational Database With Visual Power. When you start looking for serious Windows relational database power, turn to Superbase95. Its visual application development environment gives you the flexibility and high performance you need to tackle the most demanding development tasks - while its outstanding multimedia capabilities make it the ideal choice for creating today's exciting image-based applications. And it doesn't stop there. Superbase95 has integrated communications and mail, so you can design applications which interact with the outside world in ways you never thought possible. We've also made it easy for you to build applications for an entire range of user levels, with features from customizable icon bars to sophisticated querying. But, what's really amazing is that to take advantage of all these features, you and your clients won't have to upgrade your computers, or even add extra memory. Superbase95 runs highly effectively on a 386 PC with only 4MB of RAM. It all adds up to a brilliant relational database development tool you can't afford to miss! Visual Programming for Rapid Application Development Menus, icon bars, dialogs, forms, reports and queries can all be created visually - just by pointing and clicking, dragging and dropping. ToolTips for icons and status line-help can be added through an on-screen interface, and so can help-context I.D.s to allow access to specific help pages for any topic, so you can develop complete applications without writing a line of code. All tools for form, report, dialog, menu and icon bar design, are two-way, generating reusable and editable code to save you programming time. It's easy to customize your applications for different levels of user - add or delete menu items, features and controls and even add custom procedures to the icon bars and menus. Power Tools for Object-Oriented Programming Superbase95 has a comprehensive object model which offers more than seventy object types, including forms, reports, dialogs, communications and mail, as well as hundreds of methods, events and properties. Super Basic Language has a familiar Visual Basic like syntax, but with some unique features such as event prioritization and no limit to the number of controls on forms. The powerful Object Browser can traverse the object hierarchy in any direction, letting you view, set and change object properties, and with the Object Tracker, you can dump the current object's properties to a program, and instantly validate or restore previous object property settings. The Macro Recorder tracks interaction with Superbase95 to produce Object SBL from visual programming actions, and the fully integrated development environment lets you debug application code, fast. Progressive learning tools help you to learn object programming without disrupting your work flow. Integrated Image and Multimedia Handling Superbase95 supports more than 18 image formats - including JPEG, FIF and Kodak PhotoCD - far more than any other Windows database. And if that isn't enough, we publish the API so you can create your own interface to just about any image file format available. Animation, sound and video clips are all supported through the Windows Media Control Interface. Open Access for Wider Ranging, More Flexible Databases Read transparency to other data through ODBC gives you access to a vast range of different information sources, and brings SQL data right to the user interface. Smart Queries make full use of the client server environment, analyzing each query to ensure intensive processing operations take place at the server rather than locally. OLE Automation gives Superbase95 application developers a powerful way to build integrated systems. Now you can automate objects within other OLE compliant applications such as spreadsheets and graphing packages, as well as using DDE and DLLs. Integrated communications and mail objects allow you to incorporate real-time feeds from external devices such as bar-code readers and video cameras, and implement automatic database alerts. Superbase95 supports Windows communication ports COM1 - COM9 and can send and receive at all Windows supported Baud rates. E-Mail is supported through both MAPI and VIM compliant interfaces. Superbase95's import/export interface offers facilities such as error-logging and merge options, and the API is published so you can write your own access routines to non-supported database file formats. Easy to Use, but Powerful Features for End Users Superbase95's Form and Report Builders come with a gallery of pre-defined styles and layouts and can work with Superbase, dBASE and SQL file formats through ODBC. These styles and layouts can easily be customized, and Superbase95's built-in file templates can be easily modified to create your own files or custom templates. Multidimensional cross-tabs give you a powerful analytical tool for information analysis. Automatic pivoting of row and column, column and page and row and page make it easy to examine your data from every angle. Queries and ad-hoc reports can be generated fast in Quick Reports, then taken into the Report Designer to add colors, additional fonts and images, so you can create really eye-catching reports in no time. Clear, step-by-step help on everyday database tasks is instantly available from SuperSteps, and you can easily navigate around the user interface with ToolTips, which give you concise pop-up advice when the cursor pauses over an active icon. For more in-depth help, all the user manuals are on-line, making it quick, easy and convenient to access any topic you need.
