L3 Database Drivers

L3 Database Drivers
L3 Technologies offers a dBASE File Driver providing full native access to dBASE tables from Clarion applications, and a native Paradox File Driver. The Drivers are written using the TopSpeed File Driver Kit, ensuring complete compatibility with Clarion. Database access is achieved using the Borland Database Engine (BDE). This is the same engine that is used in the dBASE and Paradox Database systems, so full compatibility is ensured.

Standard Drivers
The Standard variants of the L3 Database Drivers are fully functional, entry-level drivers providing full native access to tables through the BDE.

Professional Drivers
The Professional variants of the L3 Database Drivers incorporate new technology which enables applications to dynamically create, open and access tables without defining the file structure at compile time. This enables developers to produce general-purpose applications that can operate on any dBASE or Paradox table.
Full support for Local SQL is provided through the use of the Prop:SQL file property. Support for Query By Example (QBE) is provided by a Prop:QBE property. In addition a special form of file declaration, is supported which allows the efficient use of SQL style cursors in applications.
The L3 Database Drivers offer an unparalleled range of features and functionality that ease the development of applications previously impossible with conventional file drivers.
