This new 4D Connectivity plug-in allows 4D to communicate with ORACLE™ Servers using the comprehensive Oracle Call Interface™ or OCI. Using 4D for OCI, 4D applications can access both an ORACLE database's structure and data.
4D for OCI offers 4D developers the opportunity to apply the GUI-rich, multi-tasking 4D environment to the enterpised ORACLE server. This exact combination of technologies affords a unique and distinctive advantage for 4D developers who want to grow and integrate their applications with the enterprise. By allowing a completely native access to ORACLE servers, 4D for OCI provides a development model where 4D and 4D Server can act as technically-savvy ORACLE clients. With client access to ORACLE servers, 4D applications can then choose to localize, distribute, or synchronise data between 4D and ORACLE servers. With the use of 4D processes, 4D applications can even connect simultaneously to multiple ORACLE servers. Application elegance is further enhanced through the graphically-rich, flexible forms tools found in 4D, that turn raw ORACLE data into cohesive and intuitive information for users.
4D for OCI is currently available for Windows users. Following ORACLE's public announcement of OCI 8's future ability to run on Mac OS X, 4D UK is also committed to the development of a Mac OS X version of 4D for OCI. As always, 4D developers will benefit from flexible, cross-platform development possibilities.
