The BASIS Database Management System (DBMS) offers developers both relational access and high-speed navigational access to their data. With its robust and powerful features, the BASIS DBMS allows for a versatile integration of advanced SQL statements and relational data access techniques alongside the efficiency and control of navigational functions like direct table and index access, as well as direct movement between tables. Furthermore, the BASIS SQL engine empowers developers to run queries and other SQL commands from various third-party applications. This combination of data access methods enables seamless retrieval of results, whether from an SQL query or directly from a table accessed on the server through the optimized BASIS ISAM database engine. Consequently, users benefit from a streamlined interface that merges SQL command support with direct-result-set navigation, creating a cohesive and integrated solution for data management. This sophisticated approach ensures that developers can work efficiently, leveraging the strengths of both relational and navigational access.
