Appgen Updates Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Tools

InsynQ, Inc. and Appgen Software Solutions, a division of Aptus Corp., announced today the completion of updates to database integration tools for the Appgen version 6.2 systems, including the Appgen 4GL Development System, Appgen Custom Suite applications, and the award-winning MyBooks Professional small business accounting and finance software.

Appgen uses advanced query technology components to provide integration or access to the Appgen database. These components are designed for databases that need to support high volume transaction systems and query-intensive data warehouse type applications. This integration provides a high performance, functionally complete SQL interface compatible with the SQL-92, ODBC 3.5, NET 1.1, JDK 1.4 and JDBC 2 standards, and is provided within a framework that takes maximum advantage of the underlying Appgen database management system.

"Our implementation of the standard ODBC in our database technology allows our expert resellers to meet their customers' needs by linking their Appgen solution to a host of popular desktop applications, such as MS Office, Open Office, and others," stated John P. Gorst, Chief Executive Officer for Appgen.

The Appgen database is an integral part of the Appgen Run Time. It is a variable-length relational database that allows unlimited records, unlimited record size, unlimited fields, unlimited field sizes, and one-to-many relationships within data records. This powerful database structure is supported by the Appgen ODBC Driver that makes data trading with other applications easy in a standard manner.

With Appgen, any views of the application data may be defined to allow users to easily transfer data between their Appgen applications and current versions of almost all popular desktop productivity products available today, such as Microsoft Office or Crystal Reports. The Appgen Development System also includes utilities that can import ASCII data into any Appgen database, and an export utility that allows creation of ASCII output of any combinations of data in Appgen files.
