Specifically Designed for ASP Programmers!

Apollo ASP is the industry's first stand-alone SQL database engine specifically designed for ASP programmers! Apollo ASP allows web developers working with Active Server Pages to build fast and powerful database-enabled ASP pages without the overhead associated with ADO and ODBC. Tired of working with Microsoft Access? Is MS-SQL Server overkill? Step up to Apollo ASP and get the power you need, while eliminating multi-user problems once and for all.

Apollo ASP includes Apollo SQL ($229 value). A powerful SQL-enabled Query object and a handy QuickMail e-mail object are included. These two COM objects provide all the functionality needed to build data interactive ASP web pages. Apollo ASP enables developers to use the high-speed, multi-user Apollo engine from within Active Server Pages. Web developers can use CA-Clipper (.DBF/.DBT/.NTX), FoxPro (.DBF/.FPT/compact .IDX/compound .CDX), as well as our super-fast, compact/compound HiPer-SIx .NSX/.SMT index and memo file formats.

Features

Testimonials

"Looks interesting. What do you find it's most attractive features?"

"Ease of use. Built-in ASP functions. I write Apollo ASP code with no problems. It handles variables including session variables easily. I like it more than Visual Interdev for ease of use. Give it a try."
Gary Halpin

"As always, I am excited by what you have planned in the development of Apollo ASP! Keep up the good work. I must agree that Apollo ASP is a very elegant solution."
Steve McGoldrick

"I am using Apollo ASP as the data server which I have posted to a web site. It works GREAT. It saves me all of the hassles associated with DNS and connections to the ISP database. I test Apollo ASP locally on my laptop running Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows 2000 Professional on my desktop. For web development, this is the best database component out there. For anyone reading this, I have no connection whatsoever with the folks at Vista Software, but they need to get positive feedback also. Thanks!"
Gary Halpin

"Recognising that an enormous effort has gone into not only restoring the 'reputation' of Apollo but also to the creation of the Apollo Database Server product, I would like to put on record my hearty congratulations to the Development Team and Staff of Vista Software"
Ian Branch
