2006-10-28: Brilliant Databases v5.0 is released

1. General Information

Binary Brilliant Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Brilliant Database 5.0 line of products, which includes Brilliant Database Pro, Brilliant Db. Workplace and Brilliant Database SDK. The products are optimized for medium-size databases containing hundreds to tens of thousands of records.

The main product of the line is Brilliant Database Pro - a powerful tool for creating and managing modern databases, intended both for professional and intermediate-level users. It does not require the installation of special servers or any other software and, therefore, is available to most users working under Windows 2000 or XP. The most prominent features of this program are the ease of database creation and a wide scope of customization options - from the database structure and the appearance of input forms to the creation of your own toolbar buttons and assigning hotkey combinations to user-defined actions. Brilliant Database Pro supports other database formats - it can export to and import data from Access, Excel, Lotus, Plain and tab/comma-separated databases.

The program"s intuitive interface is based on a number of powerful wizards that enable users to create custom data input and output forms, design simple and complex queries, create reports, use Excel-style formulas, create templates for Microsoft Word integration, HTML-export and Web publishing, and configure the program interface

Brilliant Database Pro takes much after Microsoft Outlook Express design ideology, which implies using the screen area in the most rational way to display the database structure, tables, records and query results. It takes a mere couple of mouse clicks to enter the database design mode. Version 5.0 brings better networking stability and speed, improved database creation tools and even more interface customization possibilities. The other two products of the Brilliant Database 5.0 line are Brilliant Db. Workplace and Brilliant Database SDK.

Brilliant Db. Workplace is a version of Brilliant Database Pro optimized for network operations. Brilliant Database SDK is a toolkit which allows to compile a created database into an independent *.exe application, and then distribute it free, without additional fees, on an unlimited number of computers. In the created application, a database developer can completely change all graphical (logotypes, icons) and textual elements, as well as forbid or permit execution of certain functions.

2. Major changes since v4.6

Timers. Now you have the ability to perform a specified set of actions (scripts) on schedule, that is, after a specified period of time (for instance, hourly) or on specified days (for instance, on weekdays at 12.00).
Synchronization. The new "Synchronization" tool makes merging databases or updating certain elements of a database using another database much easier. Move and update your forms, reports, queries, records and other database elements with ease.
Simplified Formulas Format. Creating intelligent scripts for databases is much easier now with the simplified and standardized format for field values and variables insertion. It has been optimized for textual and mathematical formulas.
Table Styles Improved. Data table representation capabilities have been further expanded. Set alternative column headers, text alignment and much more.
Text Formula Editor with highlighting. The new text formula editor highlights the keywords and allows you to create great reports, email templates or to export information to the Web. Editing data and working with text variables in scripts will be much more comfortable as well.
User Functions. User functions allow you to create your own sets of actions, thus making scripting easier giving you an ability to perform actions over multiple records at once.
New actions for scripts. New actions have been added for script programming: managing files and enclosures, interacting with FTP servers directly from the database, changing relational fields, etc.
Radical scripting improvement. Scripting has become much easier and professional. Local and global variables have been added, actions return their results, you can now fold script blocks, use GOTO-statements and much more.
Speed and network stability improved. The new data buffering system increased the speed of database operation. Networking speed and stability have also been improved.
