4th Dimension 2003 Standard Edition   Before the Internet, it really didn’t matter what proprietary database system you used, so long as you could export a tab-delimited file. Times have changed as databases have become increasingly interconnected, and 4D’s 4th Dimension has changed too. Since its humble beginnings on the Mac in 1987, it has combined the ability to create a graphical user interface with rich data-structuring tools, complete scripting capabilities, and its own programming language. The latest version, 4th Dimension (4D) 2003, is now totally OS X native, adds a number of solid Web capabilities, and improves on its already impressive range of developer features. However, it also retains the idiosyncratic take on rapid application development that we described in our review of the last version, 4D 6.8.1 (; December 2002).   All told, 4D 2003 is not easy to use, but it is a noteworthy upgrade, and its XML and Web services support are well integrated, showing that 4D is making an honest effort to simplify database design. It’s well worth purchasing if you’re an established 4D developer, but will likely be over your head if you’re not.
