A few days ago I attended
the PowerBuilder 9.0
Launch Road Show, then
spent the next two days
at a TeamSybase meeting.
These meetings are always
a highlight of my year -
we have about 12 hours of
private, focused
technical and marke...
And if not the CEO, how
about some tech support,
order takers, a
programmer, some direct
marketers, and maybe even
a couple of scheduling
analysts? Telecommuters
are becoming more than a
clever '90s buzzword.
I recently participated
in a development meeting
in which handheld and
database deployment was
the main topic. Some
participants became
confused about the
difference between a
mobile and an embedded
database as a result of
this discussion.
Okay, I know you're
already familiar with the
PowerBuilder IDE. Yes,
you're one of those
people who knows where to
find the system tree and
how to turn it off. And
you already know what the
clip window is for (if
you don't, look at ...
The PowerBuilder
DataWindow object is one
of the main reasons for
the success that
PowerBuilder has achieved
as a software development
tool. Together, they have
matured and developed.
However, since the
beginning the DataWindow

From the beginning, the
DataWindow has been a
powerful client/server
control. What has set it
apart from competing
products is its ability
to create SQL. In
reality, the DataWindow
is a SQL-generating
machine. By keeping track
of ...
When I started using
distributed DataWindows,
the slow performance
frightened me, usually
when the middle server
and the client were in
separate computers. At
that time I was using a
PIII 500 desktop
computer, and a PIII 800
datab...
They are as basic as it
gets. They are the one
way we can look at data
without restriction,
using our own rules to
define their existence,
their transformation, and
their value; they are the
molding clay of data. We
call them BLOBs....
It's taken a while, but
over the past six months
a client of mine has
finally gotten around to
building distributed
applications in
PowerBuilder. In another
life I've been building
distributed applications
for over three years;

Sybase has released
PowerBuilder 9.0, the
industry-leading rapid

tool. PowerBuilder 9.0

applications to meet
their mission-critical
business requirements,
