f90SQL Features

There are many reasons why f90SQL stands out as the best tool for database connectivity for Fortran:

• f90SQL is based on an established standard (X-Open/ODBC). This gives you the peace of mind that your applications are standard-conforming.

• Your f90SQL-Fortran applications are portable among compilers. f90SQL library calls are the same for all supported compilers. You won't have to change a line of code if you move to a different compiler vendor. Can you do the same with embedded SQL?

• Your f90SQL-Fortran applications are database interoperable. If you move your data to a different database, you don't need to change, or even recompile, your old Fortran code. Embedded SQL will tie your organization to a single database vendor.

• f90SQL is FAST!. f90SQL is a thin layer between your Fortran application and the ODBC driver of the database where your data resides. ODBC is the fastest way to get to your data, in any programming language!.

• f90SQL has a very small memory footprint.

• Compiler-level syntax and argument checking. f90SQL is strongly-typed, with explicit interfaces to all its functions and subroutines. This alone will save you many hours of frustration and debugging.

• With f90SQL you don't need to deal with pointers, C interfaces, C strings or variables, so common in Windows-style APIs. You just call normal, plain, Fortran subroutines.

• Canaima Software has one of the best support groups in the industry, and we are committed to keep it this way.

• There is a version of f90SQL to fit your needs:
  • f90SQL-lite: Suitable for most small jobs that need access to databases or spreadsheets.
  • f90SQL-pro: Our production-strength library. Suitable for any-size jobs and highly optimized for performance. It also includes the f90SQL Wizard, a RAD tool that allows you to write Fprtran applications to access your databases in less than 10 minutes.
