Apollo OLE DB: Product Description

Apollo OLE DB is a high-performance OLE DB Provider for xBase data files and offers a breadth of data management features for ADO/OLE DB enabled development environments including Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, C++Builder, Visual InterDev and others.

Apollo OLE DB provides high-speed, multi-user local access to the data and index files used by CA-Clipper (.DBF/.DBT/.NTX), FoxPro (.DBF/.FPT/.IDX/.CDX), as well as the HiPer-Six .NSX/.SMT index and memo file formats, which are even smaller than the FoxPro formats.

Apollo OLE DB hooks into the SuccessWare Database Engine (or SDE). It extends the original Apollo technology which was the overwhelming winner of the Delphi Informant Reader's Choice Awards for Best Delphi Add-In in 1996 and Best Database Tool in 1997. More recently, Apollo 5 won the Delphi Informant's Reader's Choice Award 2000 for "Best Database Engine" and was runner up for "Product of the Year".

In addition to allowing developers to build stand-alone and peer-to-peer database applications, Apollo OLE DB can be used to build client-side database applications that connect to the Apollo Database Server.
