Burlington, Vermont-based TGF Technologies Inc is now shipping version 1.2.6 of its FirstConnect database extension for SoftArc’s FirstClass communications system, which provides for the searching, retrieval and on-line viewing of pictures in client-server databases. It enables users to view photographs, graphics, and full text files as well as sounds from any Distributed Access Language-accessible database within the graphical FirstClass forms system. It also enables the user to add and delete database records from within FirstClass. It takes these entries and carries out SQL queries in external databases such as Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Informix and Butler. Version 1.2.6 enables users to initiate downloads of files stored in the database by simply clicking on the appropriate area of a database record form in FirstClass. One copy of FirstConnect can access multiple databases simultaneously. It is out now for $1,000.
