SAP Advantage

SAP Advantage
Database background

Advantage has been around since 1993, when it was introduced to provide a stable solution for Clipper developers who were tired of slow performance and corrupt indexes inherent to file server-based databases. Over the years, ADS has grown in both popularity and features. Advantage is now a mature product with an impressive collection of features that rival many of the more expensive and complicated database servers.

We created our own high-performance streaming Advantage table files reader. You don't need separate drivers and can immediately read all data in your Advantage database. For now we don't support Advantage as a database target.
