Corel Licenses New Technology from Borland
Corelr Paradoxr 8 Will Include Borland SQL Builder, Borland
InterBase and Local InterBase Server and Borland SQL Links
Ottawa, Canada- July 15, 1997- Corel Corporation,
award-winning developer and marketer of productivity applications,
graphics and Internet software, announced today a new licensing
deal with Borland International, Inc. Corel will license Borland SQL
Builder, Borland SQL Links, and Borland InterBase and Local
InterBase Server for inclusion with Corelr Paradoxr 8, due to ship
this summer. The deal reflects Corel's ongoing relationship with
Borland as they continue to work together to produce future versions
of Corelr Paradoxr and develop complimentary technology.
"We are pleased to be including Borland's expert technology in the
upcoming Corel Paradox 8," said Dr. Michael Cowpland, president
and chief executive officer of Corel Corporation. "This license
agreement will help Corel further its leadership position in the suite
business, improve integration and extend customers' investment in
Paradox through Corel's increased support for the product."
Borlandr InterBaser Relational Database Server is one of the
leading database server products on the market. It is well known for
its ease of installation, ease of use, ease of administration, and ease
of maintenance. Small but powerful, InterBase uses only 2 MB of
RAM and 10 MB of disk, yet includes many advanced features,
missing from other products, such as international character support,
event alerters, triggers, user defined functions, stored procedures,
and declarative referential integrity. Large numbers of both VAR and
corporate business-critical applications use Borland InterBase as the
core database management system due to its power and simplicity.
Such applications, embedding InterBase, can now be developed
easily with Corel Paradox 8 as front end.
Borlandr Local InterBaser Server offers true partitioned
client/server development, including transactions, on one machine,
which is ideal for single-user development and deployment. Users
can administer databases visually with powerful Windowsr tools.
The Borland Local InterBase Server is fully scalable; therefore, data,
stored procedures and triggers work when moved to other Borland
InterBase platforms such as Windows NTr, NetWare and UNIX.
Borland SQL Links provides Corel Paradox 8 users with an
easy-to-use and powerful client/server solution. It provides native,
high-performance drivers for Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL Server,
Informix, DB2 and InterBase. It transparently connects users to the
throughput, power, security and reliability of today's powerful SQL
servers, using familiar tools. Based on Borland's unified engine
technology, SQL Links allows Windows users of Corel Paradox 8 to
access distributed enterprise data as easily as if it were local data
residing in a desktop PC. Borland SQL Links connects Corel
Paradox 8-and all of the reports, queries, forms and applications
developed with it-with the wide range of data resources provided by a
company's database servers, while maintaining data security.
Borland SQL Builder is a new graphical query editor added to
make creating complicated SQL queries more intuitive. Users can
create simple or complicated queries using the new drag-and-drop
interface. SQL Builder employs Borland's innovative two-way tools
technology to allow users to work visually or in text.
