Reminder
- Upgrade to Pervasive.SQL V8 & get Pervasive Backup
Agent for free
DataFlex developers know that when you're providing
mission-critical applications, the best way to ensure
your continued success is by powering your applications'
back-end with the proven client/server DBMS of choice
- Pervasive.SQL V8. And now is the perfect time to upgrade
from older Pervasive database versions or from the DataFlex
embedded database!
From
now until June 18, 2004, you can get Pervasive's latest
data security product - Pervasive
Backup Agent - for free when you upgrade to Pervasive.SQL
V8 for DataFlex.
Many
developers rely on third-party backups of their data for
business continuity. To ensure that your backups are clean
and usable every time, do it with Pervasive Backup Agent
and lower your support costs while increasing your chances
of recovering fully from unexpected downtime and disaster.
Why
Pervasive.SQL over Microsoft.SQL or Oracle? Read this
recent
article in Dev X that addresses the advantages of
Pervasive's embedded data management solution.
For
more information about the Pervasive.SQL V8 for DataFlex
and other software solutions, contact your Data Access

office or representative, or e-mail Sales@DataAccess.com.
