Advantage Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Welcome to the Advantage (Database Server) Primer Tutorial … or APT for short, because it is apt, and not because I cut and paste a lot.<\/p>\n

Advantage Database Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) for small to medium sized businesses by Sybase iAnywhere. Database author Cary Jensen describes Advantage as follows: “Advantage has been around since 1993, when it was introduced to provide a stable solution for Clipper developers who were tired of slow performance and corrupt indexes inherent to file server-based databases. Over the years, ADS has grown in both popularity and features. Advantage is now a mature product with an impressive collection of features that rival many of the more expensive and complicated database servers”.[1]<\/p>\n

\u201cIn short, the Advantage Database Server is a high-performance, low-maintenance, remote database server that permits you to easily build and deploy client\/server applications and web-based applications\u201d.[2]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Advantage Database Server is an excellent database to use and its SQL is an excellent tool to learn and use in conjunction with the Visual Studio suite of Visual C# and VB.Net, where its integration is quite good.<\/p>\n

Its database structure is easy to follow with individual Windows files for each table’s contents and a separate individual file for a table’s index data. This is a fairly big difference in architecture to MS-SQL.<\/p>\n
