Advantage Database Server
Advantage Database Server is a complete, high performance client/server data management system for standalone and networked database applications. Using optimized data access, Advantage provides security, stability, and data integrity with zero administration. Advantage is the clear choice for proven reliability, performance, and functionality as well as a cost-effective solution for virtually any environment.
Flexibility Advantage
Advantage enables applications to access data with both a relational engine and a navigational engine. Advantage provides the most flexible client/server solution today. Advantage is the clear solution for scalable, multi-platform solutions.
Performance Advantage
Advantage Database Server gives new meaning to the word performance in the client/server world. Performance improvements are achieved primarily by reducing network traffic, intelligently maintaining database files, and providing intelligent lock management. When compared to other leading server solutions, Advantage Database Server offers exceptional performance without the overhead associated with other SQL-based database management systems.
Stability Advantage
With transaction processing (begin, commit, rollback transaction), Advantage Database Server eliminates database corruption by ensuring that every database operation is executed completely or is not executed at all. Server-based transaction processing, complete referential integrity support, and field-level and record-level constraint validation are all key features that allow Advantage Database Server to provide total database stability.
Cost Advantage
Advantage Database Server provides the same client/server benefits of other SQL solutions at a fraction of the cost. With Advantage Database Server, there are no hidden deployment costs. It installs in minutes and uses existing network file systems and hardware. Because it’s simple to implement and administer, Advantage requires no database administrator (DBA) or costly training. Advantage also provides a non-client/server database engine, called the Advantage Local Server, for single and small multi-user environments. Applications deployed with the Advantage Local Server can be distributed royalty-free, making it an ideal solution for a low-cost solution with seamless migration to client/server.
Technology Advantage
