SQLitePluginPro REALbasic plugin
SAN DIEGO, California (November 11, 2003) - SQLabs is pleased to
announce the beginning of a beta program for its soon-to-be-released
SQLitePluginPro.
SQLitePluginPro is a REALbasic plugin that provides a powerful database
engine built on top of SQLite, an embeddable, stand-alone SQL database
library written in C. SQLite databases are stored as files on the
user's local filesystem. SQLitePluginPro implements REALbasic's
database API, allowing you to use REALbasic's built-in database
controls and classes, as well as bindings, to create SQLite database
applications. SQLitePluginPro can open and manipulate existing SQLite
databases or create and open new ones. Furthermore, SQLite databases
are fully cross-platform. Any database created on a Mac can be opened
and manipulated on Windows, Linux, Solaris, Irix and many others OSes.
SQLitePluginPro supports versions of REALbasic from 2.1.2 through 5.2.2.
The beta program for SQLitePluginPro will run through November 30.
There are no...
SQLitePlugin 1.3
SAN DIEGO, California (November 11, 2003) - SQLabs is pleased to
announce SQLitePlugin 1.3.
SQLitePlugin is a powerful and easy-to-use database plugin for
REALbasic built on top of SQLite, an embeddable, stand-alone SQL
database library written in C. SQLite databases are stored as files on
the user's local filesystem. Because it does not implement REALbasic's
database API, SQLitePlugin is perfect for use with REALbasic Standard.
The most important new feature in SQLitePlugin 1.3 is support for older
versions of REALbasic. SQLitePlugin now supports versions of REALbasic
beginning with 2.1.2. SQLitePlugin 1.3 also fixes a bug that prevented
temporary files from being deleted properly.
SQLabs has decided to implement a new licensing scheme for
SQLitePlugin. Paid registration is now required to use SQLitePlugin
without limitations. Unregistered, SQLitePlugin will return up to 150
rows of any database query. The registered version has no such
restrictions. SQLabs feels that this strikes a...
