Sybase, a provider of enterprise and mobile software, has launched Advantage Database Server 10, a new version of its client/server database with both ISAM table-based and SQL-based data access.

Sybase said that Advantage 10 offer enhancements that help Delphi and Visual FoxPro developers to leverage the latest Delphi 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 tools, deploy to 64-bit platforms, and localise applications for international markets with Unicode support.

In addition, developers can also create a growth path for their client/server and desktop applications as Sybase Advantage 10 can replace legacy data stores giving applications an embeddable database that requires little or no IT support, the company claims.

J.D. Mullin, manager, Advantage Database Server R&D at Sybase, said: "Sybase Advantage Database Server 10 continues its tradition of providing Delphi and Visual Foxpro developers with a scalable, supported replacement for legacy data stores.

"This latest release builds on Advantage’s reputation as a reliable database platform for developers that continue to build applications with legacy development languages, and for those seeking a steady migration path to modern technologies."

Sybase Advantage 10 is available with prices ranging from $645 for a five-user license to $7870 for an unlimited user license.
