A lot of customers asked us regarding a cheaper possibility to
use our ibeblock technology for their own software.
The IBExpert VAR License gives a distribution license for all
modules including the IBExpert IDE. Some smaller software companies
just asked for a way to integrate our technology for a cheaper price.
Because we always respect our customers wishes, we created 2 new
products:
1. IBEScript EXE Distribution License
2. IBEScript DLL Distribution License
The IBEScript Distribution License gives you the unlimited right
to integrate IBEScript.exe or IBEScript.dll in your application.
you can use it for executing ibeblock scripts that connect to
different databases at the same time, integrate any odbc connection
as source or destination, simple data import and export, metadata
comparison and much more.
DevCo (temporary name for the new company that will assume Borland IDE and InterBase) opened some emails to accept suggestions and questions from the community (a good step forward).
I sent to them 10 suggestions. The email is reproduced in my personal blog, in this post. I hope someone there accept at last some of the suggestions.
Oracle has last year's report as well, with even more detail. It shows Borland as a quickly growing database company, riding the FB/IB success wave. It's database sales are closely tracking MySQL, with 2004 sales already at the $9 million mark.
