PowerBuilder 12

• Sybase PowerBuilder 12 DataSheet

PowerBuilder 12 - Accelerate your development.
PowerBuilder is the award-winning development tool that simplifies the building of data driven, business applications. PowerBuilder is both revolutionary and proven technology, a dynamic duo that catapults the developer experience out of this world.

Sybase PowerBuilder 12 is the revolutionary new generation of Sybase’s award-winning, market favourite rapid application development tool.

Revolutionary? Yes! It’s not just a new version, it’s a leap forward in technology that also protects and extends your existing investment into the future.

Developers can do more with PowerBuilder 12 and their current skill set than they can with any other tool. Whether your company needs to maintain a Win32 code line, build Web front ends for existing applications, integrate with .NET development, or move development entirely to the .NET Framework, PowerBuilder 12 gets you there. Faster, easier, and more cost effectively.  

The new Sybase PowerBuilder 12 architecture works with Microsoft’s Visual Studio infrastructure to deliver the highest level of application development productivity for PowerBuilder developers on the .NET Framework.  PowerBuilder 12 still requires only about five lines of code – instead of hundreds in another language – to access powerful business logic using its patented DataWindow technology. With the DataWindow now re-written in C#, PowerBuilder 12 also produces managed code and natively supports Microsoft WPF, giving developers even more productivity, flexibility, and security.  Also, it is the only product that allows customers to leverage their existing Win32 code and seamlessly migrate to the .NET Framework, saving the expense and complexities of re-writing. 

Sybase ships PowerBuilder with two self-contained IDEs. The first is designed for Windows 32-based development to build and maintain Win32 applications and migrate existing code to Windows Forms and WebForms. The second is a new comprehensive IDE for migration of existing code to Windows Presentation Foundation applications, building new Windows Presentation Foundation-based applications and deploying 100 percent managed code on top of the Microsoft Visual Studio shell, all with existing PowerBuilder skills.

A developer favourite for nearly two decades, PowerBuilder is the declarative application development environment for building, maintaining and modernising business-critical Windows applications.

PowerBuilder’s patented, unparalleled DataWindow technology is the key to quickly building data rich applications with minimal coding. Its declarative programming environment and high level of abstraction simplifies the complexities of development, allowing developers to focus on solving business problems instead of trying to keep up with the myriad of new technologies, programming languages, and techniques. With PowerBuilder, all you need is your current skill-set to do a variety of application development.

PowerBuilder is simply the easiest way for developers to create the most updated, visually appealing business applications on the latest Windows platforms – on time and under budget.

Speeds development
PowerBuilder’s DataWindow technology abstracts the complexity of data access, data manipulation, sorting, filtering, data presentation, and enables developers to declaratively apply custom business logic with about five lines of script, significantly accelerating development speed.

.NET Common Type System (CTS) language supports complete .NET solution
PowerBuilder is a true .NET language, enabling developers to easily produce and consume Web Services and.NET assemblies that can be shared with partners, customers, and throughout the enterprise.

Multiple deployment options
Create desktop, Web, Rich Internet Applications (RIA) or Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications.

Open database support
Native drivers specifically built for Sybase, IBM, Microsoft and Oracle are included with the product. JDBC, ODBC, and ADO.NET are also supported making it simple and easy to support any data source in your enterprise.

With version 11.0.1, Sybase has revamped the SQL Anywhere Base Packaging. Starting with SQL Anywhere 11.0.1, the Base Packaging consists of three new Editions (Base Packages): Workgroup Edition, Standard Edition, and Advanced Edition.

• Workgroup Edition: The SQL Anywhere Base Packages have been renamed SQL Anywhere Workgroup Edition. The Workgroup Edition is available as a Multi-user Server (5-user, 10-user) or Personal Server (1 CPU).The Workgroup Edition supports up to 2 CPUs.
• Standard Edition: The Standard Edition is designed for the growing number of customers needing guaranteed reliability and performance. Standard Edition includes everything in the Workgroup Edition plus SQL Anywhere High Availability and SQL Anywhere Monitoring. The Standard Edition supports up to 4 CPUs.
• Advanced Edition: The SQL Anywhere Advanced Edition is targeted at enterprises that want to incorporate departmental servers into established IT environments and have increased requirements regarding performance or special use cases. The Advanced Edition includes everything included in the Standard Edition plus SQL Anywhere In-Memory Mode, Replication Agent for SQL Anywhere and RSA FIPS Security.

Note: The features included in the Standard or Advanced Editions that are not included in the Workgroup Edition (such as SQL Anywhere High Availability, Monitoring, Replication Agent and In-Memory Mode) will not be available as additional deployment licenses for versions 11.0.1 and later. To obtain licensing for these components for v11.0.1 and later customers will need to purchase the applicable edition of SQL Anywhere. Note that these components will continue to be available separately as additional deployment licenses for versions prior to v11.0.1.
 

SQL Anywhere Server

SQL Anywhere Server is an enterprise calibre database that scales to hundreds of concurrent users, hundreds of gigabytes of data, containing hundreds of millions of rows. Yet its many features enabling zero-administration ensure that it also scales down to smaller environments with little or no onsite I.T. support. This makes SQL Anywhere Server ideal for ISVs selling solutions to customers who come in a range of shapes and sizes.

SQL Anywhere Server has many advanced, enterprise calibre features including:

• Row-level locking
• Full transaction processing
• Referential integrity
• SQL and Java stored procedures and triggers
• Advanced OLAP functions
• Database mirroring
• Database clustering
• Snapshot isolation
• Materialised views

• Self-tuning query optimiser
• Dynamic cache sizing
• Automated online back-up and recovery
• Roll-forward log
• Scheduled and event-based DB maintenance
• Remote DBA privileges
• Automated DB file growth
