Features
Amazing Access Speed to Turbocharge Your
Apps
This high performance database engine allows you to query
millions of records in a single second. You can perform bulk
appends, edits and deletes at speeds that are impossible with
other products. The 'low-level' API is even exposed to give you
every opportunity to tweak your application for maximum speed.
CodeBase's database access speed has been clocked at .97
seconds to query a database containing 1 million records on a
486/33.
Compact Engine Size to Keep .EXEs
Small
Not only is CodeBase fast, it's also compact--this means your
.exes load faster, and use less system resources. Smaller
programs can even help your apps run faster by helping to avoid
the disk swapping that occurs when operating systems like
Windows run out of available memory. CodeBase applications are
frequently less than 1/10th the size of similar applications
written with FoxPro, dBASE, Visual Basic, Delphi, or even the
standard database engines that come with most compilers. For
example, you can create a stand-alone DOS application that
reads a .DBF data file in only 78K!
Multi-language Support Leverages Your
Skills
Languages include: C,
C++,
Visual Basic,
Delphi, and
Java, too. Why spend the time (and
money) learning different database APIs for each language when
you can learn the simple CodeBase API just once, and take that
skill with you to any of these languages?
xBASE Compatibility Standardizes Your
Data
The xBase file standard is one of the most popular in the
world. Most commercial software supports the import/export of
information in the xBase format. Why not bring this flexibility
to your data? With CodeBase you get 100% file compatibility
with FoxPro, dBASE and Clipper data files. You also get full
multi-user locking compatibility as well, so you can run
CodeBase applications with existing xBase applications.
Client/Server Makes it Ideal for the
Web
The Web is based on client/server computing, so a client/server
database solution is a natural fit for Web development!
CodeBase uses TCP/IP for a direct connection between the
client and server. Compared to server-side data solutions, this
offers two distinct advantages; first, data is transferred at
faster rates, because the HTTP protocol is bypassed altogether.
Second, the direct connection means performance is not affected
in any way if the Web server is busy handling multiple requests.
Of course the benefits of client/server aren't limited to
the Internet--wherever you need multi-user access to databases,
client/server can be the best solution, especially if you need
to keep your data safe and secure from wayward applications or
prying eyes!
Another important feature of the CodeBase client/server
configuration is that the database server has no limit on the
number of users that can connect! Compared to other DBMS
products, this feature alone can be worth thousands of dollars
to you and/or your end users!
Additional Programming Tools Speeds
Development Time
In addition to the powerful database engine, you also get the
following development tools absolutely free when you purchase
CodeBase:
- CodeControls - A
powerful set of data-aware controls designed specifically
for the CodeBase engine. Includes a data control with full
navigational capabilities in addition to search, append,
delete and undo functionality as well. Edit controls allow
for automatic data entry formatting. Use the combo and
list boxes to perform database lookups and browse data
files!
- CodeReporter - A full
featured visual report designer that allows you to create
reports in just minutes. Plus you can embed reports directly
into your application as source code, or save them in
separate files. You can also distribute CodeReporter
royalty-free, allowing you end users to design their own
reports as well!
Reliability
Professional developer's have been relying on CodeBase since
1984. That's a long time in when it comes to the software
business, and it tells you is that CodeBase is a solid product
that has stood the test of time. Companies such as Corel,
Symantec and Goldmine all use the CodeBase engine to power
commercial applications. They trust CodeBase, and you can too!

that have used CodeBase for their database needs

management users need"

Portability for Added
Flexibility
Does your application need to run on more than one platform? If
so, you'll be glad to know that CodeBase is completely portable
between every major operating system including Windows 95, 3.1,
NT, DOS, OS/2, Macintosh and a variety of UNIX platforms
including Solaris, SunOS, HP/UX, AIX, SCO, Linux and others.
Scalable to Protect Your
Investment
There is no better way to protect your programming investment
than by using a fully scalable database engine. Scalability
means that you can take the same program source code and have
it function as either a single-user, multi-user or
client/server application. With CodeBase, all you have to do is
switch DLLs or link with a new library, and you instantly get
the functionality you need, without ever having to make changes
to your code!
DBMS Features - Extra Value
CodeBase gives you more than just fast xBase file access. It
also offers some great DBMS features normally only found in
high-priced products. For example, transaction processing
capabilities offer you complete rollback and commit
functionality. CodeBase also supports automatic logging of all
data file changes. This lets your perform incremental backups
and allows you to track who changed what and when. CodeBase
also includes a full-featured utility program for managing your
log files.
Royalty Free Distribution
Unlike some database engines, you pay no royalties or
additional license fees to distribute your CodeBase
applications. You can even distribute the CodeBase database
server, it's client applications and our report writer (so your
users can design their own reports) all royalty-free.
Full Source Code Included
CodeBase includes full source code absolutely free! This
protects your investment by allowing you to rebuild the library
with any changes you might need. It also means you can quickly
eradicate any bugs by immediately applying fixes from
CodeBase's tech department and simply rebuilding the CodeBase
engine.
No other DBMS offers programmers this much value for the
price!
System Requirements
- DOS or Windows 3.1 or later (special versions are
available for a variety of UNIX, OS/2, and Macintosh
platforms)
- Any of the following development tools: Visual Basic,
Delphi, Visual C++, Borland C++, or a Java development
