VistaDB - Alternative data engine to Jet/Access, MSDE and Xbase

VistaDB

Alternative data engine to Jet/Access, MSDE and Xbase

VistaDB VistaDB is the #1 embedded database engine alternative to Microsoft Jet/Access, MSDE, BDE, and legacy Xbase data engines for building robust small to midsize database applications under .NET and Win32.

The main benefits of using VistaDB are:

Robust data management in a small 500KB footprint
Easy XCopy and FTP deployment (Copy 'n Go!)
Zero configuration and zero administration
No runtime fees

VistaDB provides support for the following:

Managed .NET Data Provider for .NET languages including C#, VB.NET and Delphi.NET
Creating ASP.NET and WinForms applications under .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0
Native VistaDB VCL components for Borland Delphi and C++Builder
VistaDB COM objects for VB6 and classic ASP

VistaDB is the best embedded database engine alternative for professional software developers that build small to midsize database applications using Microsoft's deprecated Jet engine with Access .MDB files or Borland's deprecated BDE with Paradox or dBASE files or legacy Xbase database engines such as Apollo or CodeBase. Unlike Jet, the BDE or Xbase, VistaDB is a true RDBMS that was built specifically to give developers a robust, high-speed embedded database solution with minimal overhead and hassle-free Copy 'n Go! deployment.

Software developers finally have a real choice when it comes to selecting a robust, small footprint database. VistaDB is a true embedded RDBMS that is 100x smaller than the MSDE and is more robust than Jet with .MDB files in multi-user environments, is more secure than Paradox and is more powerful than Xbase databases. VistaDB features solid SQL-92 support in a small 500KB footprint. The VistaDB Data Migration wizard makes it easy to migrate existing databases from Access, dBASE, FoxPro, SQL Server, Paradox, and more to a new VistaDB .VDB database. The VistaDB Data Builder tool provides an easy-to-use interface to create and manage VistaDB databases.
