Xbase for the Amiga?
7 messages in this thread
Are there any database development packages available for the Amiga that
are Xbase compatible?
PB
SuperbasePro is file compatible, but not program compatible.
Does SuperbasePro actually use the .dbf file structure as its native file
format or does it that just one of its file export options? Does is
support SQL? Can the code be compiled into an executable file? Multiuser
support?
PB
Hello Patrick,
SBase4 Professional uses it's own database format internally, but it
can read .dbf files. SBase4 does not support SQL and we are working on a
LAN version which should be available in January.

That'sjust a file import/export option. It is not SQL. (Neither is
Xbase). No compilation is implemented, but there is multiuser support.
What's the programming environment like? Are the language constructs very
Xbase-like?
PB
The language environment is decent, kind of an extended basic. It's not
very structured, but structure is a state of mind <g>. A warning: it will
let you write very, very ugly and bad code. But just about anything will
do that, so that's not much of a bad point. The language constructs are
very BASIC like – IF…THEN…ELSE, WHILE…WEND, FOR… NEXT..
