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.
