4D overview

The 4D product line offers a full range of products that can be used individually as components, or together as a fully integrated, Web and Web service enabled database development solution. Every 4D product includes a cross-platform RDBMS and integrated Web development and data publishing tool.

From the enterprise/IT world to custom development to end-user solutions, the 4D family of tools addresses the needs of any business or organization.

What’s new in version 19 R7

Easy enough to build a classic contract yet powerful enough to create complete invoices, quotes, sales orders, and advertising letters with rich content and data automatically populated from a 4D application.

Reading or adding one or more lines to an existing document (a log file, for instance) can now be done more efficiently than ever using the new file handles objects.

The structure editor has had its share of optimizations. First, the toolbar has been modified to modernize and standardize all 4D windows, and second, relationship names are now displayed directly in the status bar.

4D View Pro comes with new commands allowing you to manage your table columns and rows more efficiently.

Improved and optimized local data storing and transfer for Terminal Server installations.

Interesting that for such a mature and well established product, the last review is about a decade old!

Regarding 2004.4 and 10.4.8 on Intel: BE CERTAIN you run the "Precision Patch" or you will have serious rounding errors. ALSO note that 4D's patch logic is flawed and there is at least one case where the patch will not install properly-leaving you thinking it installed. Finally, note that apparently 4D will not have a universal binary for approx. a year.

4D 2004 rocks. You can have a true client/server database up and running in a day. And with a little more effort, you can give it exactly the interface you want. Even a web interface. The database engine is rock-solid. You're not going to lose any data here. It also includes great automated backup features and a separate repair utility that can usually resurrect your data if it gets clobbered by system or hardware glitches. Check out www.Mere-Mortal-Software.com for an example of a shareware product I created with 4D 2003.
