About Omnis Studio
Omnis Studio is a high-performance visual RAD tool that provides a
component-based environment for building enterprise, web, and mobile
applications - all from one code base. Omnis Studio's Web and Mobile Client
plug-in technology allows server-based applications to be accessed over the
Internet using a web browser or many types of mobile devices, providing fast,
secure, and scalable solutions with minimal development time. With complete
scalability from individual to enterprise level solutions, Omnis applications
can be developed on any one supported platform and deployed on any other
platform without modification. Supported platforms include Windows, Mac OS X,
and Linux, all with full Unicode compatibility for your data and application
interface. Omnis directly supports traditional SQL databases such as MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, and DB2, as well as TigerLogic's advanced
multidimensional database, D3 via the mvDesigner product. Most other
databases may be accessed via JDBC or ODBC. Omnis Studio dramatically cuts
application development time compared to 3GL environments (C++, Java), while
allowing the developer to use objects developed in 3GL environments as
components in Omnis applications.
