Product Overview
 
Recital 9 Terminal Developer is an advanced server-based
development environment with an integrated database that enables
business applications to be built quickly and modified easily, often
delivering huge time and cost savings when compared with traditional
programming languages.
Recital 9 Terminal Developer is the only multi-user cross-platform
database available for Linux, UNIX and OpenVMS that provides 4GL
language and data compatibility with Visual FoxPro, FoxPro, FoxBASE
and Clipper -- all in one easy-to-install and easy-to-administer
package.
Recital 9 Terminal Developer is a leading, server-based, business
application development environment. This robust, industry-proven
product enables mission-critical programs to be written quickly
and modified easily. With built-in business data processing models,
and support for simultaneous access to leading relational databases
and proprietary file systems, Recital 9 Terminal Developer enables
rapid application prototyping and development, together with reliable
and scalable server-based deployment.
Your developers can build business applications with Recital 9 Terminal
Developer considerably faster than with a procedural third-generation
language (3GL), such as COBOL, BASIC, C, C++ or JAVA. Recital 9
Terminal Developer simplifies operations that might take dozens
of lines of 3GL code into a single instruction. By using Recital
9 Terminal Developer time and cost savings of up to 90%, when compared
with traditional 3GL tools, are possible during both the initial
development and subsequent maintenance and enhancement of business
applications.
With its Visual FoxPro, FoxPro, FoxBASE and Clipper language and
data compatibility, local cursor engine, tight coupling between
language and data, and active data dictionary, Recital Terminal
Developer is a great tool for building cross platform database solutions
and migrating legacy applications across platforms. Its data-centric,
object-oriented language offers developers a robust set of tools
for building database applications for the desktop, client-server
environments, or the Web.
Recital 9 Terminal Developer provides the power needed to migrate
legacy FoxPro, FoxBASE and Clipper applications to modern computing
platforms -- with worldwide support by expert technical support
professionals.
Recital 9 Terminal Developer will also open up your entire information
systems environment by providing access to multiple data sources
on Windows, Linux, UNIX and OpenVMS systems.
Native data access to Recital, Visual FoxPro, FoxPro, dBase, Clipper,
C-ISAM and RMS data is handled through standard FoxPro and/or SQL
command syntax.
