By using ODBC statements in a program, you can access files in a number of other/different databases, including Access, dBase, Excel, and Text...

(ODBC - Open Database Connector) is based on and closely aligned with the X/Open standardStructured Query Language (SQL) Call-Level Interface. It allows programs to use SQL requests that will access databases without having to know the proprietary interfaces to the databases. ODBC handles the SQL request and converts it into a request the individual database system understands.)

With superior scalability, hi-performance, and bullet-proof security, you can handle an unlimited amount of customers, product listings, and concurrent transactions. User-friendly tools make it easy to create storefronts, giving hosts the option to shift design and administration duties to the merchant.

Key Features

  • Site Administration Module allows easy management of multiple stores and segmentation of the database.
  • Server-Side Scripting allows you to integrate third party applications and databases. It facilitates high-end customization of standard functionality, giving you the ability to design for specific customers. It’s written in Perl, a open Internet standard so you won’t have to struggle with an immature proprietary language.
  • Additionally it's equipped with Web Adapters that are compatible with three different web server protocols: CGI,   NSAPI, and ISAPI.
  • User-defined Template Language Extension (TLE) variables are extremely valuable in the design process. You can create your own placeholder values for colors, images, and banners, and apply them to all templates within a store or in selected stores. These variables can also contain active lines of HTML or JavaScript for advanced functionality.
  • 4-tier Architecture (consisting of client, database, application, and web servers) allows the application servers to run persistently, eliminating the need to re-trigger the entire application each time the system receives a call. Performance improves 500% to 1000%. Enhance performance by splitting application servers and installing them on independent machines.
  • Hybrid HTML, an innovation, lets you save display pages as static files on the hard drive, rather than compiling them on the fly each time they’re called. Stored pages are accessed instantly, easing the database workload, allowing the entire network to perform at its peak level.
  • Platform-Independent Architecture allows you to install the three servers (web, application, and database) and the thin client on the same or different machines, even among different operating systems (like Unix or NT). Then, with the Load Balancing feature, you can intelligently determine the ratio of the workload that each machine will carry.
  • The Sybase Adaptive XI Server - one of the most advanced database available in an integrated eCommerce software package--is universally compatible and provides seamless data transfer from legacy systems through ODBC access. Excellent for sites with high-transaction volume.
  • Password protected Security Architecture offers the maximum in data protection. Independent application and presentation layers ensure that calls and operations are kept private. Users are unable to access sensitive information, and can’t manipulate the system in ways that have not been pre-defined. You as a host can determine levels of access to your merchant users.
  • Supports Secure Socket Layer, a security protocol that allows client/server applications to communicate without being exposed to eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.
