Putting a Different Face on 4D
Long considered the 800 pound gorilla of data access, ODBC (Open Data Base Connectivity) has, within the last two years, with the advent of 32-bit drivers, evolved into a robust method of retrieving data in a consistent manner that requires no end-user programming. The ODBC Driver for 4D Server allows 4D Server to be accessed via ODBC from popular applications like: Crystal Reports, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Access, Clarion for Windows, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Active Server Pages.
Tim Sullivan, from Automated Solutions Group, illustrates how to integrate the power of 4D using ODBC in his document titled, "Putting a Different Face on 4D."
