Sybase InfoMaker 11.5, CD, Win, ENG 61288-55-1150-41 Product Datasheet

InfoMaker is the powerful, easy-to-use reporting tool that enables you to query a wide range of databases and

sources and create sophisticated reports and forms—without memorizing arcane commands, writing code, or

learning a language. More than ever before, you require fast and intuitive access to enterprise information. You need

to create sophisticated queries, analyze data, print hard copies, and electronically share your results easily with

coworkers, managers, customers, and partners. There’s no time to wait for specialized programmers to create

inflexible reports that you can’t modify or “drill through” to obtain important granular details. There’s no time to

wade through screen after screen, page after page of irrelevant results. And there’s no time to spend learning

complex languages and syntax. InfoMaker provides wizards to create multiple reports—simultaneously and rapidly.

A graphically rich environment enables you to unlock information through point-and-click query construction—you

don’t need to learn any SQL commands or syntax to access data. That’s because InfoMaker provides built-in

connectivity to a broad range of desktop and server-based databases and transparently creates all SQL statements

“behind the scenes” as you build your reports and other objects.

If you’re a PowerBuilder user, leverage your existing DataWindows and provide end-users the ability to run reports

anytime they’re needed for real-time data access.

• New! Gradients, transparency settings, and pictures. Update the look and feel of your reports easily with new properties,

including Brushmode and Picture, which allows you to change the appearance of the background for a report.

• New! 3D graph styles. Based on the DirectX runtime, use Pie3D, Bar3D, Column3D, Line3D, and Area3D and give

your reports a more sophisticated look, and allow use data item translucency instead of overlays.

• New! Rich text edit style columns. Now you can use different fonts and colors in the same data field.

• New! Updated support for MSS 2008 and Oracle® 11g.

• The patented DataWindow® provides a superior graphical user environment from which to access data.

• Powerful painter editors allow the graphical creation and manipulation of particular types of objects, such as

reports or data pipelines.

Sybase PowerBuilder.®

data. Define expressions in a dialog box and use a listbox to choose functions and their arguments.
