4D Server Standard Edition

Cross-platform, client/server RDBMS, Integrated Web Development/Serving.

4D Server Standard Edition is the cross-platform data, application and development server for 4th Dimension. Any 4D single-user application scales easily to a workgroup client/server solution using 4D Server.

4D Server provides a fully integrated architecture in which both client and server use a single 4D application. 4D Server frees developers from the need to design separate front-end and back-end applications.

4D Server is a "zero admin" server. It is easy to install, use, and administer, and it enables creation of extremely cost-effective solutions.

4D Server fills the gap between low-end file-sharing-based systems and complex SQL-based RDBMS systems. Any 4D Server application smoothly interfaces with existing enterprise databases (ORACLE, Sybase, or any ODBC-compatible server) using the 4D Connectivity Plug-ins.

Integrated Architecture

With 4D Server, the front-end and back-end applications are one and the same. No additional development is required to operate in a client/server environment. 4D, 4D Client, and 4D Server share the same interface tools, the same language, and the same information management system. Using 4D, you can debug code completely off-line for your server's stored procedures.

"Zero Admin" data and application server

4D Server handles most of the administrative tasks automatically, including automatic control of client connections, automatic state maintenance for Web connections, and automatic asynchronous connections to both local and remote heterogeneous protocols. One central program allows the administrator to manage back-ups easily, fine-tune performance settings, and view connection information and statistics.

Integrated Web Server

4D Server includes an integrated Web server that intelligently allows users to access data using standard browsers. Because Web services are part of 4D Server and not a CGI, you can take full advantage of the 4D engine, giving Web users the same views of your data as 4D clients.

Development Server

4D Server is a complete multi-user development environment. It provides version control through automatic check-in and check-out of any application object. All modifications are reflected in real time for each developer on the team. No synchronization is required. Because 4D Server integrates a multi-user development environment with its database engine, developers can program and test simultaneously.

Application Server

4D Server includes an application distribution engine that tailors application code automatically for each user's platform. Used with the 4D Connectivity plug-ins, 4D Server is an ideal way to maintain three-tiered architectures. 4D Server's built-in cross-platform application server allows immediate deployment in multi-platform environments. In conjunction with 4D Open, 4D Server allows fully distributed workgroup architectures. In conjunction with 4D Connectivity products, 4D Server is an ideal gateway to corporate information repositories.
