Symfoware Server Advanced Features

Symfoware Server provides all the tools necessary to quickly and intuitively build and manage a database system. These tools are included as part of the installation process.

User Interfaces

Two user interfaces are provided as standard, WebAdmin and pgAdmin.

WebAdmin (Web Client)

This is an interface used for creating an operating environment for Symfoware Server . It is accessed via a Web browser, enabling you to easily configure the operating environment and to set parameters during setup. This provides an intuitive interface that you can become easily familiar with, so a specialist system engineer is not required.

pgAdmin (PostgreSQL GUI Client)

This is an interface more suited to the more technical user. This is ideal for database system administrators.

Symfoware Server also supports the Embedded COBOL interface. Embedded SQL is used for development with C or COBOL languages and enables high-speed database access.

Application Development

By developing application programs, Symfoware Server data can be searched and updated. These application programs are created by embedding SQL statements for manipulating data within the host language programs to be used.

Symfoware Server employs a wide range of development options, these are made available through the use of carefully considered software bundles, information utilization systems, development tools, and application runtime environments.

Symfoware Server also supports all the main scripting languages and major development environments.

SQL Standard: ANSI/ISO SQL: 2011

Script languages: PHP 5, Perl 5, Ruby 1.9, Python 2.7

Development environments: Visual Studio 2012, Eclipse 3, Hibernate

Development environments

  • To migrate from mainframes and databases of other DB vendors, Embedded COBOL and national character data types are supported.
  • Compatibility with Oracle databases is enhanced by using compatible features so that upgrading existing applications can be minimized, and migration to open interfaces is made simpler.
  • PL/extJava to support developing stored procedures using Java, allowing the use of the same programming language for both client application and server application.

Visual Studio

When you are developing applications to be used for accessing database server resources, you can link with Microsoft Visual Studio to create the applications and construct database server environments.

.NET Framework

  • This allows data on the database server to be manipulated by combining column data in tables stored in the ADO.NET DataSet object with .NET Data Provider.
