Apollo Database Server Features

Apollo Database Server 5.0

Requires one of the following Apollo engines:


Features

  • High-performance xBase server solution for Apollo local engines.
  • Buy once deploy many™ All servers feature unlimited server deployments for one price.
  • Easy client/server migration path for existing Apollo applications.
  • Thin-client, thin-server architecture.
  • Provides server-based access to xBase files both by way of direct table access and by SQL commands.
  • Provides high-speed, multi-user local and network access to the data and index files used by CA-Clipper (.DBF/.DBT/.NTX/.NSX), FoxPro (.DBF/.FPT/.IDX/.CDX), as well as HiPer-SIx (.DBF/.SMT/.NSX) index and memo data files.
  • High speed access - traverse a 1 million record table in less than 1 second.
  • Small footprint.
  • Supports large data files that are 100's of MB in size.
  • High-speed searching using optimized indexes can find any record instantly.
  • Easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy.
  • JET, ODBC, BDE and ADO not required.
  • Apollo SQL™ built-in. Apollo SQL is a powerful SQL subset of SQL-92. Also available seperately as an add-on to the other Apollo engines for SQL support in non-client/server mode.
  • Advanced TCP/IP architecture allows databases to be deployed on local area networks or on servers accessed by clients over the Internet simply by using an IP address or URL.
  • Apollo Technology First! Supports powerful Server DLLs which are DLLs that you create from a template and run on the server for optimal performance. An Apollo SessionData object provides easy management of paramater passing to your Server DLLs. You can even pass open work areas to the server and process data remotely. The execution is extremely fast since it is compiled code that runs on the server.
  • Available in several editions: 2-User, 10-User and Unlimited Users Editions.
  • Ability to set the number of users from one to the maximum number supported by the server edition (e.g. Unlimited User Edition can be set to support 25 users).
  • No server registration required.
  • Remote database administration allows developers to fully configure the Apollo Database Server remotely.
  • Transfer files between the client and server allows for remote updating of files on the server, or for automatically downloading updates of client applications.
  • Indexing, Filtering, Scope setting and data fetching and manipulation is performed on the server.
  • Advanced data compression technology minimizes network traffic.
  • Based on award-winning, proven technology.
  • New Windows XP support.

  • Apollo .NET can be used within the .NET framework including VB.NET, VC.NET, C#.NET (C-Sharp), ASP.NET and any other .NET compatible languages.
  • Supports popular FoxPro, Clipper, and HiPer-SIx tables, memos, and index formats.

  • Apollo ASP can be used with Active Server Pages running under IIS 4 or 5.
  • Supports popular FoxPro, Clipper, and HiPer-SIx tables, memos, and index formats.
  • Provides web-based SQL data managment and supports calling the Apollo Server access using SQL commands.

  • Apollo COM can be used with any COM-enabled environment such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, C++Builder, Visual InterDev, Harbour, Visual OBjects etc.
  • Supports popular FoxPro, Clipper, and HiPer-SIx tables, memos, and index formats.
  • Provides local and server access (with Apollo Server) to xBase files both by way of direct table access and by SQL commands.

  • Apollo OLE DB can be used with Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, C++Builder, Visual InterDev and other OLE DB enabled environments
  • Supports popular FoxPro, Clipper, and HiPer-SIx tables, memos, and index formats.
  • Provides local and server access (with Apollo Server) to xBase files both by way of direct table access and by SQL commands.
  • Excellent alternative to multi-user MS-Access database applications

  • Supports Server DLLs (see above) via TApolloServerDLL.
  • Apollo VCL applications can connect directly to the Apollo Database Server for true client/server computing.
  • Easy migration path for Apollo users
  • The Borland Database Engine (BDE) can co-exist with Apollo Database Server, but the BDE is not required.

  • TApolloTable and TApolloQuery are both TDataSet descendants that comply fully with Borland's specifications.
  • Supports the native Delphi/C++Builder data-aware components such as TDBGrid and TDBEdit as well as popular 3rd-party data-aware components like InfoPower, and Orpheus.
  • Includes local access support on TApolloTable for non-client/server development such as desktop and peer-to-peer database applications.
  • Delphi source included for the TApolloTable, TApolloQuery, TApolloServerDLL, TApolloDatabase, TApolloEnv, and TFts components.
