(August 6, 1992) -- Three versions of ClipSQL - libraries that support the Microsoft/Sybase SQL server, the Oracle SQL server, and the Gupta SQLBase Server - are now available from Aladdin Publishing, Inc. of Redondo Beach, CA. ClipSQL lets you use Clipper to access SQL databases. ClipSQL makes it easy to add powerful database management capabilities to Clipper Summer '87 and 5.01 applications. ClipSQL lets the Clipper developer take maximum advantage of the power and performance found in the client/server architecture. Applications created with ClipSQL are completely portable, so the developer retains maximum flexibility to support the database server that best meets the needs of the individual client. To port an application to another server, the developer need only re-link the application with the appropriate ClipSQL library. No source code changes are required. ClipSQL supports all SQL commands and lets you Retrieve, Update or Delete rows, as well as Create or Delete tables. Full working source code samples are provided. ClipSQL functions include: sqlLOGIN( ) allows your application to login to the database server. sqlUSE( ) tells ClipSQL which database to access on the login server. A database can contain an unlimited number of tables. sqlQUERY( ) sends an SQL query to the database server for syntax checking. This function can contain any DML (Data Manipulation Language) or DDL (Data Definition Language) query that retrieves or updates information in the database server. sqlRESULTS( ) is the function that causes the query previously sent to the database server to be executed. A result set is created which is stored on the server. sqlNEXTROW( ) retrieves the next row from the result set on the server. Multiple rows may actually be buffered internally on the client to boost application performance. sqlNEXTCOL( ) returns the value of the next column of the current row. sqlLOGOUT( ) allows your application to logout of the database server. ClipSQL is 100% royalty-free. ClipSQL functions can be linked directly into Clipper .EXE files. Generous site license prices are also available. All three ClipSQL libraries are priced at $495 each, and are available directly from Aladdin Publishing, 126 South Helberta #4, Redondo Beach, CA 90277 +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | From the America Online - New Product Information Services | +===============================================================+ | This information was processed from data provided by the | | above mentioned company.
