Create your
own client/server
VFP applications for access to remote
DBF data and components.
Visual FoxPro
has excellent ability to work with
local DBF tables, even with remote
data of SQL server. However, what if
we need access huge DBF data stored
for example somewhere at another end
of the country?
Options of
remote access to DBF data:
- OFF-LINE: Cheap solution,
but we have to replicate the
data (we can do it in different
ways, but the result is always
the same – data are not current
at that time)
- ON-LINE via Terminal
services: Applications and data
are stored on the same server –
smart solution, but it needs
investments into terminal server
and good internet connections
- SunLINE !
SunSoft SunLINE SDK is a set of VFP
libraries designed for software
developers. It allows development of
client/server solutions using TCP/IP
protocol without need of special
expensive application or database
servers and clients.
SunLine SDK for
VFP provides both application VFP
server and client VFP APP components
for integrating into developer
solutions. These components allow
connect local computers to remote
computers over LAN or internet using
TCP/IP protocol with VFP commands
executed on the remote computer. The
client PC can get access to all
local DBF data and sources of the
remote computer using VFP commands
in PRG scripts. One client
application can work with more
server stations.
SunLINE is
recommended to use with
Overbond system (FORTE company),
which provides easy and safe
internet connection of computers.
You can find
detailed description of SunLINE SDK for
VFP 1.0 in the
documentation. |
