SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
q*BASE DBMS Development Software for Solaris x86
Knowledge Information Systems now offers its q*BASE(R) application
development and DBMS products for SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86
operating environment. The easy-to-use, interactive q*BASE
development environment speeds prototyping of complex applications
ranging from basic self-contained data management to enterprise-
wide multiuser solutions. The q*BASE methodology uses triggers and
other mechanisms to ensure data and referential integrity. Its
data dictionary provides extended field attribute definitions,
reducing the coding needed to apply business rules and
constraints.
True Xbase compatibility enables Clipper '87, FoxBASE+ and other
generic Xbase databases and applications to migrate to q*BASE with
little or no modification. Developers holding a q*BASE EXE
license can freely distribute their applications in operating
system-executable form without royalties, and can integrate
external C functions with native q*BASE PRG applications. The
ability to deliver flexible, multi-user, enterprise network DBMS
solutions makes q*BASE an ideal complement to Solaris x86.
A Stable, Open Platform
Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX(R) operating
environment for the Intel(R) x86 platform. Designed as a
foundation for enterprise computing, it supports major industry
standards and provides high-performance 32-bit UNIX multitasking,
multithreading and multiuser capabilities. Solaris x86 is
compatible with Solaris SPARC(R), ensuring full interoperability
between the leading CISC (x86) and RISC (SPARC) platforms. And
Solaris x86 is scalable from desktops to supercomputers, so that
customers can configure heterogeneous enterprise networks and
expand them easily as their computing needs evolve.
Solaris x86 provides native ONC+(TM) technology-based LAN and WAN
networking to support broadly distributed computing and system
management. Solaris also includes powerful application and
Graphical User Interface (GUI) development tools through the
OpenWindows(TM) facility, and a rich suite of user productivity
applications under DeskSet(TM). Numerous commercial third-party
applications, including many Microsoft(R) Windows and DOS
applications, run in the Solaris x86 environment.
