SIMPOL Rapid Application Development

SIMPOL is the name of the language. The SIMPOL Professional is the primary method for developing applications in SIMPOL. SIMPOL Professional is a little different than the older desktop database products like Superbase. Superbase is an end-user desktop database that includes a development language and development tools. SIMPOL Professional comes with a top of the line Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for building and debugging programs, an end-user tool for creating files, forms, and reports, and for basic viewing of data within those forms and in record and table view. This end-user tool is built as an application using SIMPOL. SIMPOL is a general-purpose programming language that has specific extensions in the area of database-oriented application development. SBME is the database engine, but that is accessed using a set of objects from the SIMPOL programming language and is a completely separate DLL in Win32 or shared library in Linux or Mac OS-X.

Instead of being a single monolithic product, SIMPOL is actually a family of products that work together. This means that when you ship a product using SIMPOL, only the pieces that are needed have to be included.
