The Embedded Runtime gives the ability to build a single .exe with the dBASE PLUS 10 Runtime embedded into the .exe. Also included, is the new Resource Handling, which now works with both .BMP and .PNG graphic types from resource .dll(s).
At runtime, application developers interact with BDE by creating various BDE objects. These runtime objects are then used to manipulate database entities, such as tables and queries . BDE's application program interface ( API ) provides direct C and C++ optimized access to the database engine, as well as BDE's built-in drivers for dBASE ...
dBASE had grown unwieldy over the years, so Esber started a project under Mike Benson to re-architect dBASE for the new world of client–server software. It was to be a complete rewrite, designed as the next generation dBASE. dBASE was a complex product, and a thriving third-party industry sprung up to support it. A number of products were ...

After dBASE was acquired, this was no longer desirable, and emphasis shifted toward an ease-of-use market. However the product could not ...
Clipper was created as a replacement programming language for Ashton Tate's dBASE III, a very popular database language at the time. The advantage of Clipper over dBASE was that it could be compiled [6] and executed under MS-DOS as a standalone application.
Vulcan was renamed to dBase, the price was raised from $50 to $695, and the software quickly became a huge success. When a number of "clones" of dBase appeared in the 1990s, Ashton-Tate sued one of them, FoxPro, over copyrights. On December 11, 1990, Judge Hatter issued an order invalidating Ashton-Tate's copyrights in its own dBASE products. [3]
Harbour's implementation of the Macro Operator allows for runtime compilation of any valid Harbour expression. Such a compiled expression may be used as a VALUE, i.e. the right side of an assignment (rvalue) or may be used to resolve the left side (lvalue) of an assignment, i.e. private, or public variables, or a database field.
