4D 2003 ships.

18th March 2003, Wilmslow, UK.

4D UK, manufacturers of the 4D Product Line, today announced the immediate availability of the latest version of their award-winning database development software, 4D.

4D 2003 comes with comprehensive support for integrated Web Services, including XML, SOAP and WSDL, plus an easy-to-use Web Services Set-up Wizard and much more.

This much-anticipated release also provides significantly enhanced developer programming features such as a new method editor, an integrated compiler and new printing and reporting features.

" Truly groundbreaking, 4D 2003 brings limitless possibilities for integrating other applications into 4D systems with the introduction of Web Services support," said Rob Wylie, 4D UK's General Manager. "With comprehensive XML, SOAP and WSDL support for both client and server side Web Services, 4D requires virtually no re-coding from the developer. Whether youπre an end-user aiming to streamline business processes while saving costs or a developer seeking greater productivity and more versatility, 4D 2003 will more than meet your needs."

Web Services, New Reporting Engine and more:

Building on 4D's commitment to technology standards, 4D 2003 tightly integrates support for SOAP, XML and WSDL. New advanced Web Services server and client support provide scalable, flexible development capabilities with developer-friendly wizards that create all the underlying code necessary to call Web Services. XML import/export and programmatic XML parsing are also now available directly inside 4D 2003.

A revolutionary addition to the 4D family of integrated RDBMS and Rapid Application Development tools, 4D 2003 has several end-user features that complement the major new features for developers.

A new reporting engine with an enhanced Quick Report Editor for producing versatile, comprehensive reports, including cross-tab and list reports makes customised report generation very easy for end-users. Direct output to HTML and XML formats enables 4D 2003 to receive and send reports via the Web and Web Services with new options.

For developers, the new Method Editor dramatically improves productivity, new printing features allow for further printing customisation and an integrated compiler provides the ability to compile code at least 50% faster.
