Latest Developments

Sculptor 6.0.0 was released on 23 December 2010

Major new features introduced in Sculptor 6.0 are:

1. Native Sculptor ODBC driver.
2. Optimised SQL92 query engine in the Sculptor server.
3. Mirrored updates in the Sculptor server (option).
4. ODBC connections in the Sculptor server (option).
5. Improved Windows .NET DLL supporting the new server features.
6. Improved Keyed File API for C supporting the new server features.

The client/server improvements in Sculptor 6.0 make SQL an integral part of Sculptor and substantially improve the performance of SQL queries on Sculptor files. The options to move mirrored updates and ODBC connections from client to server further improve performance and can reduce the number of client licences needed when using third party SQL databases. The native Sculptor ODBC driver is an alternative to the Transoft middleware product, which is still available for applications that require it.
