Long Description:
-----------------
ISAM Manager is a database management library for C++
programmers. It is a full B+Tree/ISAM system, which is extremely
fast and provides a very straightforward interface to the
developer. Features include:
Full relational capabilities.
Up to 2 billion records per data file with FAST access.
Multiple Indexes. up to 10 different indexes, each containing up
to 10 data fields are allowed for each data file.
Fast! In a database with 4 million records, ISAM Manager can
locate a specific record with as little as 4 disk accesses! It's
made even quicker by its in-built index caching system which can
reduce the number of accesses required even further.
4GL Features. ISAM Manager can automatically generate a data
entry program from just a database description file, giving you
a framework on which you can build a more powerful application,
or just a quick and easy data entry screen. Just like a 4th
Generation Language (4GL)!
Portable. ISAM Manager is provided for both DOS and Windows, and
is easily ported to other operating systems also.
ISAM Manager is currently a single-user system. That is, only
one user may access a database at any one time. A multi-user
version is planned, and will have full record-locking
capabilities for fast, multi-user access.
Short Description:

ISAM Manager v 1.01. Database Programming

use. Very fast single-user system!

has only the Compact model libraries). Source code is provided
