FileMaker 3.0 Pro PC MAC CD professional business relational database system! Type: Application Platform: Windows/Mac Publisher: Claris Released: 1996 Media: CD FileMaker Pro has been for years the best-selling database management system (DBMS). Because it was so good, it was the only database program that most of its users needed or used.FileMaker Pro 3 is a major improvement over the version it supersedes (2.1). But this is saying too little, because version 3 is not just better, it is, in some fundamental way, a different kind of application. A relational database application differs from a flat-file system at least as much as a page-layout program differs from a word processor. Remarkably, not only does FileMaker Pro retain all of the features of FileMaker Pro 2.1, it actually looks and feels enough like its predecessor that experienced users of the earlier version will find the transition to version 3 effortless.They will not have to pay any attention to the relational capabilities of FileMaker Pro at first, if they don't want to. In fact, relationality is so gracefully added to FileMaker Pro that many users will be able to ignore it altogether, not just at first, but forever. To put it differently, this is the first RDBMS (relational database management system) for the PC that is so user-friendly, it makes sense even for very simple flat-file databases. Nevertheless, FileMaker Pro 3 makes available to users a brave new world of possibilities.For Windows (32-bit Systems) / Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
