- Long Description:
- -----------------
-
- ISAM Manager is a database management library for C++
- programmers. It is a full B+Tree/ISAM system, which is extremely
- fast and provides a very straightforward interface to the
- developer. Features include:
-
- Full relational capabilities.
-
- Up to 2 billion records per data file with FAST access.
-
- Multiple Indexes. up to 10 different indexes, each containing up
- to 10 data fields are allowed for each data file.
-
- Fast! In a database with 4 million records, ISAM Manager can
- locate a specific record with as little as 4 disk accesses! It's
- made even quicker by its in-built index caching system which can
- reduce the number of accesses required even further.
-
- 4GL Features. ISAM Manager can automatically generate a data
- entry program from just a database description file, giving you
- a framework on which you can build a more powerful application,
- or just a quick and easy data entry screen. Just like a 4th
- Generation Language (4GL)!
-
- Portable. ISAM Manager is provided for both DOS and Windows, and
- is easily ported to other operating systems also.
-
- ISAM Manager is currently a single-user system. That is, only
- one user may access a database at any one time. A multi-user
- version is planned, and will have full record-locking
- capabilities for fast, multi-user access.
-
- Short Description:
- ------------------
-
- ISAM Manager v 1.00. Database Programming
- System for C++. Full B+Tree/ISAM

- use. Very fast single-user system!
- Multiple indexes per file, multiple
- fields per index. Up to 2 billion
