Advantage Database Server is a feature-rich, high-performance relational database management system for Windows aimed at small and medium businesses. The unique advantage of using this program lies in the fact that it simultaneously works with ISAM technology and supports SQL language. This means you can scale from a local desktop environment to a client/server architecture with the same source code.

Principle of operation

The Advantage Database Server developed by Extended systems is a convenient solution for companies that operate applications that store data in dBase or Paradox tables. These instruments are typically created with Clipper, FoxPro, as well as with more modern development tools, such as Borland Delphi.

Generally speaking, ADS is a database server that executes requests from clients. Thus, it gives you the ability to manipulate data stored in files of its own closed format and items in dBase format. The use of such a software solution allows you to enjoy the advantages of the client-server architecture, namely centralized query processing and scalability using apps that rely on the file server to work properly.

Stability

The product comes with advanced transaction processing and eliminates database corruption by ensuring that every operation is executed completely or not at all. Thanks to the referential integrity support, field-level and record-level constraint validation, you are able to achieve total database stability.
