PowerBuilder

tool, database A graphical user interface development tool

from Powersoft for developing client-server database

applications. It runs under MS-DOS(?) and MicrosoftWindows. There are also versions for Microsoft Windows,

Windows NT, Macintosh, and Unix.

Applications can be built by creating windows, controls

(such as listboxes and buttons), and menus within the

PowerBuilder development environment. The language used to

program PowerBuilder, PowerScript, is loosely based on

BASIC.

PowerBuilder supports programming on many database backends

including Sybase and Oracle. It also has added support

for ODBC database drivers. PowerBuilder also comes with a

built-in database backend (WATCOM SQL 32-bit relationaldatabase).
