New OpenBase SQL module for REALbasic supports headless applications Linux
and CGIs also supported

CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, USA — July 12, 2005 — OpenBase International
announces an open beta for a new REALbasic connectivity module for the
OpenBase SQL database — written in pure REALbasic code. In addition to
providing compatibility with the existing database API, the module is
suitable for console, CGI and other headless REALbasic applications.
OpenBase SQL is currently the only database to support headless REALbasic
applications.

The new database connectivity module is also compatible with Code Builder,
a database application code generator for REALbasic. Code Builder generates
a complete database access layer for databases that encapsulates database
operations in REALbasic objects. This layer insulates the programmer from
having to write and maintain SQL code, further increasing productivity and
maintainability.

The new REALbasic connectivity module supports REALbasic versions 5 and
beyond and is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Contact
(mailto:norman@openbase.com)norman@openbase.com to participate in the beta.

Details will be discussed at the SUMMIT 2005 Developers Conference.

About OpenBase

OpenBase SQL relational database servers deliver the scalable performance
and fault-tolerant data protection e-business demands.

Proven in realworld applications since 1991, OpenBase SQL has become the
database of choice for innovative, business-critical applications on Mac OS
X and other popular computing platforms. In addition to database
performance and integrity, OpenBase SQL solutions come with
industry-leading features that are simply unavailable — or cost much more
