- Report Writer/Forms Based Tool
-
- The SQL Toolset is made up of two components: The APT Workbench and Data
- Workbench. APT Workbench provides a set of Application Productivity Tools
- (APT) for designing, prototyping, building, and maintaining forms-based
- applications, specifically as in the following examples. APT-Edit is a visual
- forms editor for designing and implementing customized window-based forms,
- menus, and associated processing logic. Also, APT-SQL is a powerful,
- easy-to-learn 4GL used to define logic and processing for forms created with
- APT-Edit. APT-Build is an automatic application generator for building
- multitable prototypes or applications. APT-Build produces APT-SQL code that
- can be used as a standalone application, incorporated into a larger
- application, or modified and extended by the application designer.
- APT-Execute is a standalone run-time environment for applications developed
- with APT Workbench. Data Workbench provides a set of tools and utilities that
- facilitates decision support, ad hoc queries and reports, and database
- administration. It is an interactive visually-oriented tool that can be used
- effectively by novices, as well as by more sophisticated programmers. The
- Visual Query Language (VQL) allows users to compose and run complex SQL
- queries with a pick-and-point visual interface. VQL automatically presents
- appropriate joins among the columns of two or more tables. It eliminates the
- complexities of multiple selection criteria, sort orders, and aggregation.
- VQL can also serve as an interactive learning tool, since as the VQL query is
- built, the corresponding SQL statement is displayed on the bottom portion of
- the screen. For the sophisticated user, the Data Workbench SQL facility
- allows developers to compose and run SQL queries and to define store
- procedures, triggers, and integrity rules in Transact-SQL. The Data Workbench
- was built with the user in mind, with the attention to detail that makes the
- difference between a product that is usable, and one that seems designed to
- make life difficult.
