Read about the purchase of SmartStar from B2 Systems, Inc.
SmartStar is a comprehensive application development environment that reduces the time and money required to develop a new application or to modify an old one. SmartStar allows you to develop applications to run on OpenVMS (VAX and Alpha AXP) machines, which can access a wide variety of databases.
SmartStar provides you with a variety of benefits, including:
- Support for Rapid Application Development (RAD)
RAD methodology helps dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to develop database applications by allowing you to execute the design, development, testing, and deployment phases all in parallel. And, the working application gives you a concrete context for feedback and analysis, facilitating better communication and allowing you to build better applications faster.
- Access to Multiple Databases
SmartStar uses native connections to access all of your databases directly, ensuring retrieval times up to 2-3 times faster!
- RMS, Rdb/VMS, Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Teradata/ShareBase
Even though the most popular databases all work on different platforms, you can access them all with ease.
- Reduced Coding Requirements
With SmartStar, you can quickly create working prototypes that can be enhanced to create the finished application without starting over or throwing any work away. You can efficiently maintain and reuse work, as well as automatically perform multi-table inserts, updates, and deletes within a single transaction.
- Based on SQL Database Access
The object methods examine the structure of the window and generate appropriate SQL statements to select, update, insert, and delete records as needed, without requiring you to write your own SQL syntax for windows. Developers can modify the default behavior simply by setting attributes.
- Open 3GL Access
You won't worry about losing older programs--you'll maintain access to any program you've written in the past, whether it's written in third or fourth generation languages.
In order to provide the wide-range of features, SmartStar is comprised of multiple components that cover the entire process of data integration, from application design, database development and use, and reporting.
