4th Dimension 2004.3 Enhances Data Recovery Abilities, More

by , 4:15 PM EST, December 14th, 2005

4D Inc. on Wednesday released 4th Dimension 2004.3, an update to its database development solution that features data mirroring, which enables a second computer to replicate a database, updating itself periodically to stay current. The upgrade also includes advanced Debug Log Recording, which enables developers to retrieve detailed information about database operations, as well as many bug fixes.

This is a free update for registered users. Pricing starts at US$349, which includes unlimited runtime.

Subject: Beware of 4D...

Good product, lousy company, questionable future. Small, privately held, will not divulge company, directional, or growth information. Poor (non-partner) developer support and, if you criticize them, you will be ostracized and surreptitiously unsubscribed from their company owned network user group, and all posts negative on 4D will be deleted - nasty... End users beware of high and frequent upgrade costs and dropped support if not pay the price to upgrade frequently. Be advised to check out much better database alternatives from more stable and forthright companies that care about the developers who sell, and the end users who use, their products.
