Borland Database Engine 5.11

Borland Database Engine (BDE) is a software component developed by Borland that provides connectivity to databases in applications developed using Borland's programming tools. The BDE allows developers to connect to a wide variety of relational databases, including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, and more.

With the BDE, developers can create applications that access and manipulate data stored in these databases. This component provides a layer of abstraction that simplifies database connectivity by allowing the developer to use a uniform API regardless of the database engine being used.

The BDE provides a number of features that make it easy for developers to build powerful, data-driven applications. These features include support for transactions, record locking, and data caching. Additionally, the BDE includes built-in tools for managing database connections and optimizing query performance.

• Transactions: The BDE supports transactional processing, allowing developers to build applications that perform complex operations while maintaining data integrity
• Record locking: The BDE allows developers to control record-level locking, which prevents multiple users from updating the same record simultaneously
• Data caching: The BDE can cache frequently accessed data in memory for faster access times, reducing the number of trips to the database server

The Borland Database Engine provides developers with a powerful tool for building data-driven applications quickly and easily. Its wide range of database support and robust set of features make it a valuable asset for any development team.
