PowerBuilder
<tool, database> A
graphical user interface development tool from Powersoft for developing
client-server database applications.
It runs under
MS-DOS(?) and
Microsoft Windows.
There are also versions for
Microsoft Windows,
Windows NT,
Macintosh, and
Unix.
Applications can be built by creating
windows, controls (such as listboxes and buttons), and menus within the PowerBuilder development environment.
The language used to program PowerBuilder, PowerScript, is loosely based on
BASIC.
PowerBuilder supports programming on many database backends including Sybase and Oracle.
It also has added support for
ODBC database drivers.
PowerBuilder also comes with a built-in database backend (WATCOM {SQL} 32-bit relational database).
