Product Features summary
| Database type | Various: all database types that are supported by the Borland Database Engine. This includes DBase, Paradox and various others. The range of supported types may expand with future releases of the BDE. |
| Multiple database sets | Supported. The database(s) to be used can be selected in your SQL assignment text. |
| Data browsing | When processing an SQL assignment that produces a result dataset, SQLBox will automatically present this data on it's "ViewGrid" tab page. You may browse this page using the provided scrollbars. The result data is instantly printable. |
| Editable items | Editing of database data is possible by SQL assignment only. |
| Backup facilities | Please note that backup software is not within SQLBox's scope, since there is wide variety of excellent backup solutions available. (In this particular case, we recommend that you investigate the use of a hardware solution as a CD burner or a ZIP drive: the advantage that these hardware solutions offer, is the fact that any databases stored on these media can be read directly from within SQLBox). |
