4D View adds value to 4D applications, offering integrated spreadsheet capabilities and a comprehensive set of enhanced data viewing features.

Spreadsheet functions include calculations, projections, and analyses; data-viewing features allow the programming of dynamic input interfaces and calculation lists, printable lists, and more.

Hundreds of commands give you the unprecedented ability to create dynamic forms using 4D methods and print to Quick Reports, offering 4D applications the ultimate in user-interface capabilities.

4D Write provides you with sophisticated word processing and document management functionality within your 4D applications.

4D Write documents can use data from 4D records: You can write reports and letters that automatically extract information from your database and merge it with text. You can also use 4D Write as a separate word processing application by using it in an external window. Your work within this window can be independent of your database or use data extracted from records in your database.

Features

• Color, user-definable margins, text alignment, line spacing, and tabs
• Paragraph and character styles and style sheets
• Multiple-column documents
• Find and replace characters and formats
• Open multiple documents simultaneously
• Place and scale pictures
• Powerful Hypertext Links to URLs, other 4D Write documents and 4D methods
• Fields, variables and methods can be inserted in documents

The 4D for OCI plug-in allows 4D to communicate with an Oracle Server.

Features

• Direct access to the Oracle Call Interface
• PL SQL support
• Programmatically manipulate the data source data and structure tables
• Cloning of 4D tables as ORACLE tables and vice-versa
• Data exchange by value or by address
• Implementation of deferred mode
• Array processing
• Support for Binary Large Objects (BLOBs)
• Support for Character Large Objects (CLOBS)
• Support for Oracle 8.16, Oracle 9 and Oracle 10

Communicate with any data source accessible by an ODBC driver, enabling you to handle the data and structure of a SQL data source

4D ODBC provides access to nearly all ODBC applications on the market, allowing you to build anything from simple queries to transaction-based client/server applications.

Features

• Access to most of the functionality of ODBC 2.0 (Core Level, Level 1 and Level 2)
• "Pass-through" mode support
• Programmable manipulation of the data source data and structure files
• Cloning of 4D tables as ODBC tables and vice-versa
• Data exchange by value or by address
• Use of native types with automatic cross-conversion
• Ability to test available driver functions
• Support for Binary Large Objects (BLOBs)
• Debugging window for tracing the communication between 4D and 4D ODBC

The 4D SQL Expansion allows unlimited incoming SQL connections to your 4D Server application.

Without this expansion, each SQL connection would typically use up a concurrent Client connection (i.e. a 4D Client license). For intensive use, you can bypass this limit with the 4D SQL Expansion, which allows unlimited incoming connections, reserving your Client licenses for native 4D connections.

4D Web applications can be created using 4D’s extremely flexible and extensive built-in capabilities, and be further enhanced with the optional addition of 4D Web 2.0 Pack, and/or through third-party web development products.

The 4D Web Application Expansion license allows unlimited connections to your 4D application’s built-in HTTP server. It can be linked either to 4D Server or to the client-side application (i.e the 4D Client license). This allows you to launch your Web server on a distinct machine, typically in a DMZ, or to execute a number of different Web applications linked to the same database. However, you must choose your option when you purchase your Web Application Expansion, as the feature activation process is not the same between 4D Server and 4D Client.

Unlimited Web Services access for a single install of 4D Client using the integrated Web Services server. (A separate 4D Client license is also required.)

Your 4D application can publish Web Services in either DOC or RPC style, with just a single click. In addition, you get programmatically controllable security features and automatic WSDL (Web Services Definition Language) publication.
