June 3, 2003 - Devrace Software Company announces BlazeTop
- a flexible and universal integrated environment for database development
and administration of new generation. BlazeTop 1.0 beta for InterBase,
Firebid and Yaffil demonstrates a new component-based approach and
style of graphic user interface, which enables users to operate
on database objects and tools fast and easy in a way similar to
Delphi environment.
"This version release does not seek after outstriping functionality
of existing InterBase administration tools. We aimed at (and we
suppose, succeeded in) the development of an open and highly-technological
IDE and ideology of the product, which will soon become a line of
administration tools for different databases. At present BlazeTop
is the only product of this class that is completely built on the
component architecture and very similar to Delphi IDE in convenience.
In BlazeTop developers will find familiar Object Inspector and other
direct analogues of Delphi. But these conveniences touch upon not
only user's interface. BlazeTop implies a use of object interfaces
integrated in independent dynamic packages, which enable to extend
the product functionality without rewriting the code. Only in BlazeTop
users can choose necessary functions and really delete all redundant
things ..." - Dmitry Kovalenko, the leading developer
of BlazeTop.
Devrace BlazeTop features and benefits:
- High-quality dynamic architecture of IDE - In the third
place, BlazeTop is an object environment, which can intergate
into itself various functions due to the robust mechanism of dynamic
plugins. Architecture of BlazeTop IDE is similar to that of Borland
Delphi and C++ Builder. BlazeTop is a do-it-yourself so it can
be easily adjusted to users' needs and provides them with necessary
functionality.
- Full support of InterBase, Firebird and Yaffil - Great
BlazeTop's advantage is its mobility toward functional stratification
of InterBase, Firebird and Yaffil. Their differences are more
and more numerous and they might even touch upon client libraries
soon. BlazeTop shows its advantageous principle of work with dynamic
packages, because it considers InterBase, Firebird and Yaffil
to be three different servers. Firebird and Yaffil are separate
servers just as MySQL or PostgreSQL. Even now BlazeTop dynamically
links up components for access to Firebird and InterBase 7.0.
- Delphi-like User's Friendly Interface - As any of database
objects and most additional tools of BlazeTop are realized as
components, you can edit their properties in Object Inspector.
Programmers are accustomed to this due to Delphi, Visual C++,
Visual Basic, etc. BlazeTop is the only database administration
and development tool with such capability.
- Build-in plugin mechanism - Due to dynamic package and
component architecture BlazeTop implements the most powerful and
flexible mechanism of plugin. Actually even basic BlazeTop functionality
is realized on the basis of packages so there is no much difference
between the main functionality and additional functions in plugins.
- Optimization of work on low speed channels - BlazeTop
for InterBase, Firebird and Yaffil has been tested and optimized
for use on such low-speed commucation channels as ISDN, etc.
