Database programming
My exposure to database programming started with dBase IV on the PC. This progressed to Borland dBase, Firefox and Clipper. From there I took a course in Gupta SQLWindows.
The Gupta experience then lead to a dabble in SAP and ABAP4 - I am a Certified SAP Technical Consultant in ABAP/4.
What Wikipedia says:
Gupta Technologies, LLC was a software development company based in Roseville, Placer County, California. It was later renamed to Centura Software in the late 1990s and then to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc in 2005. It was acquired by Unify Corporation in 2006.
Its principal products are the SQL relational database management system SQLBase, a mobile HTML5 enterprise development system called TD Mobile and a rapid application development system called Team Developer (also known as SQLWindows). The company is considered as the provider of the first client/server relational database software
that would run on personal computers (PC), rather than mini computers.
Gupta - SQLWindows
Back in the day I was an SQLWindows developer. This was for the Client Server Factory out of Toronto Canada.
I seem to remember that I was first introduced to the Gupta product when I was on contract to Bayer, Canada (Miles)
SQLWindows was a product of Gupta Technologies. It was a suite of software that comprised of a database and a programming language that allowed the development of applications to use that data. The SQLWindows suite also provided tools to administer the database and version control for multiple developers.
SQLWindows could also be used with 3rd party databases such a Oracle.
