Both options allow developers to begin building applications that embed SQLBase, regardless of the development tool they are using, and the Team Development Kit also includes the support necessary to ensure the developer's success. In addition, individuals or teams can develop and test using both NT and NetWare and on 16- and 32-bit Windows platforms. For deployment, developers can use the SQLBase Embedded Deployment Pack. This provides developers flexible and seamless deployment licensing options along with the components and information necessary to build an integrated installer. "By providing a database solution that is invisible to the end user, we are making it easier for ISVs to develop and deploy embedded databases installed at multiple sites. Developers can now get started with SQLBase, embed it, and realize the TCO (1) (Total Cost of Ownership) The cost of using a computer.
