For Immediate Release

 Quadbase-SQL for Windows now supports Microsoft ODBC

Sunnyvale, CA - 

Quadbase Systems Inc. announced that it started to ship 
version 2.0 of Quadbase-SQL for Windows, a full-fledged, high performance, 
ODBC compliant SQL database engine implemented as a DLL (Dynamic-link 
Library). 

Besides significant performance improvements, this new version is 
loaded with exciting features:  support for the Microsoft ODBC 
standard with seamless, object-oriented access from Visual Basic 
v2.0 and direct access through a C language API; SQL2 syntax compliant 
multi-table outer join; a new Alter Table command that allows you 
to add new columns at any position as well as drop, rename or modify 
an existing column; a unique and very powerful on-line debugging facility 
that logs to a file and displays all SQL statements executed by the engine; 
BLOB (Binary Large Object) data type for multimedia applications; 
read-only schema for CD-ROM distribution; thirty-one character table 
and field names; dynamic Embedded SQL for C, Visual Basic, and other 
Windows languages; custom controls for browsing and data entry in 
Visual Basic; and utilities that perform schema dump and integrity 
checks.

The very fast and compact SQL engine is specially designed to manage 
large amounts of data efficiently.  The system supports updatable 
scroll cursors, an essential feature for interactive data browsing.  The 
product fully supports the ANSI SQL-86 level 2 standard plus extensions, 
e.g. referential integrity and outer join.  Other features include 
multi-user concurrency control with four isolation levels, crash recovery, 
and transaction processing. 

The product is ideal for small to medium size file server systems 
as well as standalone, notebook and pen-based systems.  Interactive 
tools included are dQUERY, an award winning query tool and report 
writer, and a new version of VBQUERY, a Windows based interactive 
tool for prototyping of SQL statements and database maintenance and 
administration.

Prices: Single user development kit, $595; multi-user development 
kit, $995.
