Synopsis

Aims to serve as an introduction to database programming techniques and a resource for experienced programmers making the transition from other languages or earlier dBASE versions. This updated edition reflects all enhanced features and over 40 new commands incorporated into dBASE IV 1.5. Following the same case study format of the previous edition, it guides readers step by step through the entire process of designing, coding and implementing sophisticated solutions to their most common database dilemmas. The book is divided into four sections, beginning with the fundamentals of programming and database design for the novice, and then moving on to database use, dBASE programming techniques, and real-world dBASE applications. In the final section, readers tackle the problems of a fictitious business struggling to develop an integrated database. In the process they learn how to: use dBASE commands from the dot prompt and the Control Centre; design menuds and data entry screens; add, delete and manipulate data; sort, search and select records; create and print custom reports and labels; use the Applications Generator to build complete programs; test and debug dBASE programs; and create user defined functions for advanced data validation.
