The widest scope
of built-in database features.
The 4th Dimension product line offers a full range
of Mac OS and Windows products that can be used
together to create a fully integrated web-enabled
cross-platform database development solution or
as individual components depending on the needs
of your business. The complete product line includes
tools for development, deployment, productivity,
connectivity and Internet servers for details on
each of these products read below. Consistently
the leading database development environment for
Mac OS and Windows, 4D products offer powerful solutions
for rapid web application development, client/server
systems, encrypted data, enterprise connectivity,
and more.
4th Dimension is the most evolved database environment
in today’s market. Years of experience in database
design, interface building, and constructive feedback
from power users and professionals have clearly
defined the 4D principles:
»
Automate everything, which can be automated to guarantee
ease of use, security, and of simplicity of administration.
»
Deliver an efficient graphical object-based model—
thus, drastically reducing the need for code.
»
Provide the widest possible range of capabilities
with built-in features to ensure full consistency
in database design and operation and to facilitate
database maintenance.
»
Offer easy, straightforward code re-use.
»
Offer transparent cross-platform, Web, and client/server
scalability.
Features described apply to:
»
4D for Windows and for Macintosh: any application
created on one platform can be used as-is on the
other.
»
4D Server: 4D Server is the client/server version
of 4D. Any 4D application can be deployed into client/server
architecture. By default, 4D Server has the same
built-in capabilities as 4th Dimension, plus additional
server specific characteristics (which will be detailed
in another White Paper).
4D, 4D Client and 4D Server share the same interface
tools, the same language, and the same information
management scheme. Using 4D you can debug code for
your server’s stored procedures on one single laptop,
even on an airplane! or if you use 4D Server as
your multi-user development system, you can create
a 4D stand-alone vertical application.
