Advantage Database Server  Advantage Database Server is a full-featured, high-performance, true client/server database engine. Advantage allows FoxPro developers to develop powerful database applications with complete client/server database control. Most importantly, FoxPro developers can retain their ISAM-style data access methods while utilizing Advantage's complete SQL engine for optimized data access. Along with providing data-integrity and security, triggers, stored procedures, full-text search, replication, and more, Advantage also provides unique functionality to the FoxPro market because of its native support for DBF tables including support to DBF tables greater than 4GB and a migration path to .NET without any VFP code changes.

Do any of these issues sound familiar? Advantage can help because of its native support for DBF data.

  • I have tables that are nearing or over the 2GB limit and I am forced to get creative when dealing with them. Advantage natively supports DBF tables greater than 4GB; no data conversion is necessary.
  • I want to use a different technology to extend my VFP application (for example, to the web) but I don't have the time, resources, or money to rewrite my application. Advantage allows you to concurrently share your DBF data with other technologies. Leave your current VFP application alone with no changes and share the data with a newly written Visual Studio module for web access.
  • I need to increase my application's security but have reached the limits of DBF tables. Advantage provides increased security features such as encryption and hiding DBF tables on the network using your existing data.

How is it all done so easily? Stop by the Advantage booth and we will show you how or visit our website http://www.sybase.com/foxpro
