Как Ashton-Tate сумела превратить dBASE в инфраструктурный стандарт, но напугала разрабов и клиентов
Ashton-Tate — показательный пример того, как компания может стать владельцем целого отраслевого стандарта, а затем быстро потерять рынок из-за собственных неудачных решений. В 1980-е годы продукт dBASE, созданный этой корпорацией, стал основой для тысяч бизнес-приложений. Однако судебные тяжбы и неудачный релиз новой версии подорвали репутацию фирмы и ослабили ее коммерческие позиции. Разбираемся, где Ashton-Tate просчиталась.

Given that I didn't use earlier IBM PCs for business, I never quite got into the "lost" tech of that area, dBase. I tinkered around a bit with Visual Fox Pro, but coming mainly from a programming/UI building perspective, checking to see what one could learn there (it was quite good, if I remember correctly).
But no real experience with the non-relational database queries and scripts of that time. Is it worth getting into, just to widen one's horizon? (Probably via DOSEMU and dbase III or IV)

I am still actively using the original programme that I wrote in 1985 to manage my comic collection. It is written in dBASE III+ syntax and compiled with Clipper on a state-of-the art Commodore PC20 with Intel 8088 (4,77 MHz, 16-Bit-architecture) CPU, 256 kB RAM, and 10 MB hard drive (fancy stuff, back then). Today, over 40 years later, the user interface may look a tiny bit outdated, but everything still works like a charm.

🪨 dBASE on the Kaypro II 🛠️
Armed with nothing more than a blinking cursor, I build an inventory system for my failing software retail shop (just play along with me here). I also explore #cpm add-on options for the #apple2 #c128 #colecoadam and others, and whoops! Did I accidentally become a #dbase programmer in the process?

dBASE và Clipper – huyền thoại quản lý CSDL trên MS-DOS đang quay trở lại? Với DosBOX, bạn có thể chạy lại các ứng dụng cũ, còn nay có Harbour – phiên bản mở rộng, mã nguồn mở hỗ trợ biên dịch. Từ tạo DB, nhập liệu đến giao diện văn bản, dBASE từng là công cụ mạnh, nhanh và linh hoạt. Một phần ký ức tuổi thơ cho dân lập trình đời đầu! #dBASE #Clipper #Harbour #MSDOS #Programming #lập_trình #cơ_sở_dữ_liệu #retrocomputing #legacycode

@isotopp was it really that recent? Now trying to remember what I used before then. I know I used Oracle, SQL Server, #dBase and #DataEase (yuck), but I'm sure I used some #OpenSource RDBMS too.

👴 Ah, the good old days of #dBASE in 1984—a time when software was as clunky as the #VHS tapes this "video" probably came on. 📼 But hey, at least #YouTube is throwing in a legal disclaimer that's longer than the actual content itself. 🎥🤦♂️

Update:
Successful upgrade of dBase! PostgreSQL running smoothly mastodon.social now runs on the spanking new database servers!
Small processing delays occur due to backlog of requests accumulated during downtime.
Patience is a virtue...

mastodon.social has incurred problems & is experiencing major outage.
PostgreSQL new major version running on new server hardware went awry.
There is a config issue with the upgrade.
Please just be patient and dont ask when the instance will be up again. Let the computer & server technicians work in calm so they can fix or roll back; either will result in the instance coming up again

In India, dBase, FoxPro, etc. were popular early choices on the PC that remained popular for far too long:

Estoy reaprendiendo el lenguaje de programación de #dbase... no lo usaba desde los 90. Mi idea es acabar aprendiendo a usar (x) #harbour.
Vaya rollo lo de tener que usar SELECT para cambiar el fichero al que haces referencia. Me parece mucho más fácil el sistema de MsAccess.
Y, por otro lado... ¿como puedo relacionar campos con distinto nombre? Esto es, ¿puedo relacionar el campo ID de A.dbf con el campo A_ID de A_to_B.dbf?
Aparentemente, el editor de relaciones no me deja... #clipper #msdos -

@dirkdierickx Sweet, sweet memories...
My first real interaction with a programmable environment was with #dBase II on the old #DEC #Rainbow100 running #CPM 86/80 that my father had salvaged, when I was 12.I didn't make much use of the database part of it, but I could write some simple games and scientific computations, inspired from #basic listings found in magazines (mostly my father's collection of "Science et Vie").
