When the product knocks the socks off the naysayers, that will be a

Dennis,
You will be very pleased to know that during the
Inside R:BASE 7.0 for Windows Training marathon
(started June 5th, 2002 and still going), we have
trained hundreds of existing R:BASE Developers
and End-Users, along with new R:BASE 7.0 Developers
who had no prior experience in using R:BASE. These
folks and their Employers/Corporations had the
opportunity to sit in those training sessions and
compare their Oracle, SQL DBMS knowledge and
application development experience using VB and
PowerBuilder ...
Why did these naysayers attend and become an
integral part of R:BASE 7.0 Private Beta, going
live with R:BASE 7.0 and developing cool
applications?
Answer: For one very simple reason!
We have provided our Current and Potential R:BASE
Developers with the robust engine and tools to
accomplish everything at a fraction of the cost as
compared to other development tools out there.
Give me the name of a single DBMS out there which
provides a user with:
. Robust Engine (over 20 years of development history)
. Sharing the same database with DOS and Windows Users
at the same time
. R> Prompt
. Form Designer
. Report Designer
. Label Designer
. Query Designer
. Application Designer
. File Gateway (Import/Export)
. XML Import/Export
. Form Wizard
. Report Wizard
. Label Wizard
. Query Wizard
. Application Wizard
. Cool Database Explorer
. GUI Text Editor and Syntax Highlighting
. GUI Tracer/Debugger
. Built-in MAPI E-Mail
. Built-in BLOB Viewer/Editor
. Capture live graphics in database
. Built-in PDF Writer
. Built-in HTML Writer
. Built-in RTF Writer
. Built-in XLS Wtiter
. Built-in Image Writer
(BMP,GIF,JPG,TIFF,WMF)
. Built-in Bar codes
. Ability to use your own custom Plugins
. Ability to use your own custom UDFs
. Display Data Dictionary by pressing one key (F3)
. Watch Variables while running a command file
. Store entire application code with a form
. Integration with DWF
. Integration with Pocket PC
On top of all the above, R:BASE users:
. Won't have to pay mega bucks for software licenses
. Don't need a mandatory support plan to use R:BASE
. Don't need a full-time DBA on staff to manage
R:BASE database
. Don't have to wait days, weeks or months to get
hold of support or development staff
. Don't need weeks, months or years to design a
GUI application
Now, would you like to know how many corporations
and institutions have switched to R:BASE 7.0 for
Windows and are doing exactly same things plus more
than what they had been doing with OTHER DBMS and
development tools? Then make sure to attend the 2003
5th Annual Developers' Conference on April 4-7, 2003
and hear the testimonials and see their live R:BASE
7.0 applications in person.
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.
