Advantage Database Server is a scalable, seamless, high-performance DBMS that brings client/server benefits to PC database applications. By redesigning the PC database architecture, Advantage allows developers to work with the same easy-to-use development tools and methodology, but replaces the distributed PC database architecture with a client/server model.
