- RALEIGH -- April 22, 1992 -- Pioneer Software and Delrina Technology Inc.
- announced today that Delrina will incorporate Pioneer Software's database
- technology in future releases of PerForm PRO. Pioneer's technology will
- allow PerForm PRO to provide direct database access to fourteen databases
- including: DB2, Ingres, Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, Netware SQL, XDB, EE
- DBM, SQL Base, Btrieve, and Excel files.
-
- "Electronic forms processing as an enterprise solution requires
- comprehensive integration with corporate databases" said Stephanie
- Feraday, Delrina's Director of Marketing. "Pioneer's database technology
- will allow PerForm PRO to offer significant advances in many aspects of
- data management, handling, storage, and query.
-
- "Pioneer Software has successfully provided its customers with
- multi-database technology tools in the Windows and OS/2 environments for
- the past three years," said George Woltman, President, Pioneer Software.
- "So it is natural for software vendors in complementary markets to license
- our technology for database access and use their development resources for
- other product enhancements."
-
- Pioneer Software's multi-database access is available to corporate
- customers in its retail package Q+E Database Library (QELIB). Q+E Database
- Library provides Windows developers with programmatic access to a variety
- of database management systems. Q+E Database Library is a collection of
- Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) that provide a common call level interface
- for database access from any application or tool capable of calling a DLL.
- Q+E Database Library can be called from the macro, script, or programming
- languages of any Windows product. Products such as spreadsheets, word
- processors, hypercard development systems, 4GL development tools,
- object-oriented languages, and traditional programming languages can all
- use Q+E Database Library to directly retrieve and manipulate database
- information.
-
- Q+E Database Library uses the SQL database language to access data stored
- in local, server, and remote databases. This data can be stored on a PC,
- LAN, mini computer, or mainframe. Since Q+E Database Library uses the same
- SQL language for all database systems, developers don't have to learn a
- different interface for each database system. A single application can be
- written to simultaneously access multiple databases or an application can
- be developed using one database system and then run on other database
- systems. This is a tremendous benefit to the application developer faced
- with building an application that works on multiple database systems.
-
- Delrina Technology Inc., a developer and publisher of forms and fax
- software, is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Delrina Corp., a public
- company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE:DC).
-
- Pioneer Software, the multi-database technology company, has shipped over
- 2,000,000 copies of Windows and OS/2 database access products for
- end-users and developers. Pioneer Software was recently cited as the
- fourth fastest growing application publisher in the 1992 Software Industry
- Factbook, published by the Digital Information Group. Pioneer Software,
- founded 1986, is a privately held company based in Raleigh, North Carolina
- and has a European office in Rotterdam, Holland.
