Additional Product Information
The core U/BL product is a commercial BASIC programming environment. Developed from the hugely successful UBB Universal Business Basic product, U/BL represents a new era in Business Basic programming. RAD - At a time when BASIC is undergoing a renaissance, and the industry is recognizing its potential for Rapid Application Development (RAD), U/BL's functionality provides a highly productive development environment. For example, U/BL's powerful features include shared procedures, enabling you to create encapsulated libraries as RAD building blocks. In addition, U/BL supports embedded SQL file I/O for non-relational and relational data, providing rapid reporting and database independence. U/Gi the terminal emulator with a difference - U/Gi is Windows-based and emulates VT, DG and other terminals. U/Gi also has a unique 'Windowizing' thin-client presentation management capability which gives your U/BL applications a Windows look and feel without having to write new code or learn a Windows development environment. And once you have integrated U/Gi with your applications, it's simple to add features like image and sound. Competitive edge - By using U/Gi to provide a GUI interface to your U/BL applications you can serve both Windows and character screen users with a single set of source. As users realize that Windows is not appropriate for all circumstances, your ability to provide a single solution spanning both environments will give you a significant competitive edge. Improved development environment - The U/Gi user has all the benefits of the Windows development environment and U/Gi's screen history feature speeds coding and aids debugging. No need for a network - As well as supporting TCP/IP, U/Gi works over an RS/232 serial connection. U/Gi features - Emulations include VT and DG, dasher terminals, Windowizes' U/BL applications, select colors and fonts, use bitmap pictures and sound, ASCII & binary file transfer, cut & paste to other Windows applications, screen history, supports TCP/IP or RS/232 U/SQL Report Writer - Transoft's add-on U/SQL Report Writer product is an established fully functional reporting tool allowing programmers and end-users alike to develop customized reports for both ad hoc and routine reports. U/SQL Embedded Report Writer - U/BL allows programmers to incorporate the functionality of U/SQL Report Writer in U/BL programs using its unique Embedded Report Writer capability. Using this you can create application reports with just one line of code, boosting programmer productivity. Simple SQL SELECT statements are used to define the fields required for the report and using standard GROUP, ORDER and SUM functionality you can create complex application reports very quickly. Embedded U/SQL Report Writer even supports run-time parameters, so the criteria for the report can be varied at run-time. Embedded U/SQL Report Writer will automatically create a default layout for each report. U/BL data management - Relational databases offer benefits of data management, security, open connectivity and a shared data dictionary. But it is widely recognized that they frequently fail to provide the on-line transaction processing (OLTP) performance of traditional ISAM file structures. Hence users usually have to accept a reduction in OLTP performance to gain the benefits of an RDBMS solution. No compromise - However, U/BL's unique data management capabilities avoid this compromise. They give you the high performance of a traditional ISAM structure - plus the data management and connectivity of a relational database. The secret is Transoft's radical U/SQL technology. U/SQL Server - U/SQL Server is the core of Transoft's revolutionary U/SQL Client-Server family of products. It is a fully optimized SQL RDBMS Server, providing a normalized relational view of U/BL data and interactive ANSI SQL access to U/BL and RDBMS data. Plus ODBC access - U/SQL Server is Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) enabled, and by simply adding Transoft's U/SQL Client product, you can use any PC client-based ODBC-aware software to access U/BL data as if it were a relational database. This means you can report on your data using popular PC products such as Crystal Reports, Impromptu or Microsoft Query. You can even develop client/server applications which both access and update your U/BL data using products like Visual Basic, Visual C++ or PowerBuilder. Use Crystal Reports, Impromptu, Access etc to report on your U/BL data Use Visual Basic, PowerBuilder etc to develop integrated PC applications UNIX optimized SQL server Relational view of U/BL and RDBMS data Interactional SQL access to U/BL and RDBMS data SQL access to other non-relational data. Transoft's U/SQL technology means high performance OLTP plus relational connectivity and relational data management Enterprise wide connectivity - In addition, U/SQL Server's amazing Data Source Driver (DSD) technology means that you can provide ODBC connectivity to other non-relational legacy data providing a single connection to the whole universe of data in your enterprise. 3-tier client/server - second generation client/server that works? Organizations are now recognizing that effective client/server solutions require a 3-tier model. Making use of business logic on the server reduces development time/cost and overcomes the network performance bottlenecks often experienced in earlier 2-tier client/server implementations. U/BL provides the 'bridgeware' needed to implement 3-tier client/server.
