- Powerhouse 4GL is a proven fourth-generation language (4GL) designed to produce
- complete, sophisticated commercial applications. It works with PowerHouse
- Interbase, the relational database management system from Borland, and C-ISAM,
- which provides inter-operability with file and database management systems on
- hardware vendors' platforms. In addition to this, Cognos is now offering a new
- client/server version of its PowerHouse application development environment.
- These applications support both terminals and PCs running MS Windows networked
- to UNIX servers. PowerHouse 4GL builds interactive screen-based transaction
- processing systems, volume processing applications, and complex reports.
- PowerHouse 4GL is the foundation of a complete application development
- environment from Cognos that includes multiple database, file management,
- client/server support, and CASE tools. These tools provide access to corporate
- data in three ways: through Intuitive Query, Intuitive Applications, and
- desktop Executive Information Systems (EIS). Each uses graphical user
- interfaces (GUIs) to shorten learning curves, clearly and concisely present
- data, and integrate with other desktop applications such as spreadsheets.
