New Look and Feel - the new look and feel of DataEase 7.1 has put itself in the frontline for making the most powerful yet attractive looking applications.
Ease of use - One of the key strengths of DataEase has always been its ease of use. This means you can quickly develop powerful Windows and Web applications in a fraction of the time taken by other products.
Straightforward design - Simply drag and drop objects to design your application. Use style sheets to apply customised fonts and colours. At any time, click on a button to switch between user and designer views to test your work.
Simple business rules - Easily create rules that validate and process your input information as it is typed. Cut down introducing bad data in your application.
Fully relational - DataEase lets you easily define relationships that link the data tables in an application. These can be created "on the fly" and you can display nested tables - 'subforms' - within your main form, making the display of related information easily accessible to users.
Multi-user system - Your application can be reliably networked with many users, with real automatic network locking. Global options can be set to control the extent of locking. Refresh data on screen, instantly, automatically.
Extra power - Use one of the available 250 plus Custom Defined Functions (CDF's) written especially for DataEase, or integrate general purpose Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL's) to extend DataEase's functionality even further. Or create your own!
Visual and Data Control - You can manipulate both the display of objects on your form and your data by attaching powerful scripts to buttons, fields or any other screen objects. Create audit trails of data input or change the colour and placement of fields conditionally by attaching a script to objects.
Speed of Change - Whilst it is acknowledged that DataEase gives you one of the quickest and most efficient development environments available today, a major component of the overall life cycle of an application is that of making changes to fulfil user's ongoing requirements.
Connectivity - DataEase 7.1 makes integration with other databases simple - display tables from Access, SQL Server, Oracle and others.
Object Manipulation Language - OML - Attach scripts to the objects that appear on your DataEase form. All visual elements you use on Forms or other documents consist of Objects accessible from other documents in your application.
Web enablement - Publish and remotely manage data from DataEase and non-DataEase databases on the Web in real time at the click of a button.
Power where it's needed - As a developer you can give users as much or as little power as required by allowing access to your entire application or parts of it, ad-hoc reporting, and general maintenance functions. You can use views and filters to create alternative views on a form to present selected information in different ways.
Reporting - Users can search through the data and produce their own reports without any programming knowledge. DataEase gives you several different levels of searching and reporting: Query by Form at form/data-entry level, for form searches, Query by Model, allowing you to write sophisticated multi-table reports with a few mouse clicks, and DataEase Query Language (DQL), an easy to learn English-like query language that allows complex reports and data processing procedures to be created using a simple set oriented method. No knowledge of SQL or programming languages is required.
Low cost - DataEase is a low cost, highly productive database with thousands of DataEase users worldwide. Full international support is available to our users.
Research & Development - DataEase continues to embrace new areas, by providing a robust database and development environment across DOS, Windows and now the Web.
Protect your investment - Happy DOS users can move to DataEase Windows Environment without losing any of the investment made over the years building the application.
Low risk - Conversions from DataEase DOS to Windows ensuring that you're tried and tested applications are reborn as Windows applications able to support your business into the future. Take advantage of Windows and Web technology by using DataEase to introduce new features to your converted applications.
