Unique in its space, Advantage Database Server is a high performance embedded client/server data management system that provides both ISAM table-based and SQL-based data access, enabling application developers to easily chart a growth path for legacy database applications to today's modern techniques.

Advantage 8.1 provides developers with the functionality they require to easily build scalable business applications with low administration requirements.

"Advantage is designed specifically for application developers who require powerful database functionality that is easy to deploy and doesn't create unnecessary administrative overhead," said Chuck Vertrees, product manager for Advantage Database Server. "The enhancements and updates in Advantage 8.1 have allowed us to further enhance the usability and developer productivity of Advantage. All of the changes are customer-driven and have been a direct result of developer feedback."

Advantage 8.1 further reinforces our decision to choose Advantage Database."

Functionality Enhancements of Advantage Database Server 8.1
o User Defined Functions (UDFs): By encapsulating frequently performed
or complex operations into user defined functions, SQL statements and
scripts become easier to write, understand, and debug.
o TCP/IP support: The ability to communicate with the Advantage Database
Server using TCP/IP is now available; providing an alternative to the
default proprietary transport implemented using UDP.
o Increased SQL performance: Performance has been improved for many
types of SQL statements with shorter execution times.
o Vertical Filtering for Replication: It is now possible to define
vertical filters on replicated tables to control which columns of data
are replicated. This provides greater control over the replication
process and allows for more flexible scenarios. For example, vertical
filters make it possible to replicate to a target table that has fewer
columns than the source table.
