Review & Description
We wanted to like this software, at least for the promise mentioned on its cover: "Better Decisions. Better Relationships. Less Stress." Who wouldn't want those things? Software based on the I Ching has limitless possibilities, allowing simplicity to be brought to this ancient means of self-realization. Again, the software promised thousands of readings of the I Ching, in versions that are "poetic, relevant and non-sexist." With academic interviews tossed in for good measure, it would seem like a package most could benefit from.
The problem lies in the execution: tinny, MIDI-like music, for example (Peruvian flutes being the best, the option for adding "Random Frogs" the worst). The choice of warm earth tones for the image palette was a good one, as was the strong black border, which transforms the ordinary white space of computers that normally house Microsoft Word documents and Web search engines. But ultimately, it's the small things that disappoint: the interview with a professor where the narrator sits in front of what appears to be a cubicle wall, for example, or the smallness of the font in the book's layout.
As a chance to take a break, breathe, and think about life's choices, The Oracle of Changes could prove quite useful. But as a gift to a friend in need, or to yourself, you'd be best off curling up with a copy of the book itself, in any of its many translations. --Jennifer Buckendorff Read more

Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7.0 Professional [Old Version]
by Microsoft Software
Platform:
Windows NT / 98 / 2000 / Me / 95
(6)(Visit the Most Wished For in Database list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)
Review & Description
Probably the best midrange database development system on the market, Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7.0 Professional Edition takes the ease-of-use and gentle learning curve that are characteristic of Microsoft Access and combines them with the scalability and feature-richness of Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The result is an eminently refined database development system, ideal for projects that aren't performance intensive.
FoxPro disproves the notion that database development and administration are black sciences, comprehensible only to specialists. This database suite demonstrates that you can do meaningful database work in an environment that can be figured out intuitively. The operative word is meaningful. FoxPro is not a friendly-but-feeble database management system you can use only to manage your recipes. Despite its friendly interface, it's a serious database tool.
The traditional way to use FoxPro is to develop a database on a server machine, then compile client applications--which rely on the freely distributable FoxPro runtime environment--to make queries against that server. That's still a good solution, but version 7.0 includes an object linking and embedding (OLE) database provider, with which you can expose FoxPro databases to non-FoxPro client applications. You can also increase your range of client compatibility by choosing to serve your data from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Edition (MSDE), which ships with this product. Taking the MSDE path also makes future upgrades to the full version of SQL Server easier. It's straightforward to connect FoxPro databases with Internet Information Services (IIS) sites, which means FoxPro can serve as your Web site's back end. So, even though FoxPro isn't technically part of Microsoft's .NET architectural initiative, this new version is a lot more network-centric than any of its ancestors.
A lot of thought--and many years of customer feedback--have clearly gone into the design of this product. It's hard to imagine how the process of setting up a database could be made easier, since all you need to do is use simple menu commands to create a new project and populate it with databases, tables, queries, and the other elements of a useful application. To create a table, for example, you can choose to use a wizard that presents you with some typical tables--contacts, invoices, products, and so on--and the fields each kind of table typically contains. You can then choose to include in your table all or some of an example table's fields, supplement those fields with fields of your own making, and start collecting data.
The most immediately obvious new user-interface feature is IntelliSense, a longtime feature of other Microsoft products. IntelliSense will automatically complete function names and do syntactical grunt work for you as you type code. You can turn off IntelliSense, or modify its behavior, if you find it intrusive. Other interface changes include dockable windows and toolbars, and a couple of new ways to navigate around large code passages. There's also a new Object Browser tool you can use to examine and refer to the COM objects in your application's environment.
If you prefer to work with code and a command line, FoxPro has your number, as well. You can type commands and arguments that create databases, tables, relationships, views, reports, and queries, to say nothing of full-fledged business applications. The FoxPro language, like its graphical user interface, has been expanded and refined over the years. Microsoft has added more than 50 new commands, functions, and system variables to the language since its last release. Many of the more interesting ones--like XMLUPDATEGRAM() for sending database change notifications--have to do with importing and exporting data in Extensible Markup Language (XML). It's also now possible to monitor and react to events thrown by non-FoxPro COM objects.
Further improvements in FoxPro 7.0 include support for Web services (with which you can advertise your application's capabilities on a network) and Active Accessibility, which is Microsoft's set of hooks for devices and software that help handicapped people. There's also a copy of InstallShield Express included here, which enables you to create deployment packages that install the required files and make the needed settings on computers that will run your applications.
You wouldn't use FoxPro to store values for a performance-intensive software application, and it's a bit too costly to replace quick-and-dirty Access for simple database work. But for medium-size organizations that need to make it easier for people to share data, FoxPro's power and elegance promises to enable insiders to solve database problems with a minimum of outside consulting expense. --David Wall Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7.0 enables you to build high-performance desktop, client/server, and Web database applications with its database development system. Employ its powerful data engine to manage large volumes of data, its object-oriented programming to reuse components across applications, and its built-in XML support to quickly manipulate data. Visual FoxPro 7.0 provides the tools and powerful data engine developers need to manage large volumes of data, whether they are organizing tables of information, running queries, or building full-featured database applications for end users. It helps developers achieve maximum productivity through a powerful development environment and easy-to-use visual design tools, and provides the flexibility to build all types of database applications, and to build and consume COM+ components and Web Services.
Make applications accessible to third-party tools, such as screen readers, voice-recognition devices, and automated test harnesses. You can also make Visual FoxPro data easily accessible to non-Visual FoxPro-based clients. Build interoperable applications and components through the ability to represent Visual FoxPro data as XML and to import XML data into Visual FoxPro tables. Control user actions with code that executes when databases are opened, closed, or modified. You will reduce coding time by obtaining powerful, extensible language assistance as you type. View and quickly navigate to procedures, functions, and methods in source code, dock common tools such as command, data session, and debug windows. You can create setups for your custom applications using a special version of the popular InstallShield Express developed exclusively for Visual FoxPro. The enhanced code editor reduces coding time with support for bookmarks and shortcuts, find capabilities, and case conversion. Read more

Review & Description
Consistently rated among the top database management systems (DBMSs) for any platform, Oracle 8i for Linux brings Oracle's renowned capacity for speedy queries to the free and flexible Linux environment. Though it's not as easy to learn and maintain as other DBMSs, Oracle will reward its devotees with solid performance and reliability. This package includes all you need to get Oracle 8i going under any version of Linux (as long as the OS is running on a machine with a chip that uses Intel's machine language). You'll be pleased with the DBMS, particularly if you plan to work with large databases and do a lot of customization with Java; the level of Java integration in Oracle 8i is fantastic.
This edition of Oracle 8i for Linux also includes William G. Page's Special Edition: Using Oracle 8/8i, which focuses more on Oracle 8 than on the Internet-centric capabilities of Oracle 8i. Still, it's a fine introduction to the Oracle way of accumulating, maintaining, and exposing data, with lots of conceptual diagrams that help clarify what goes on inside big data stores. Page's book doesn't cover installing Oracle 8i under Linux, but a separate booklet in this package provides stepwise instructions on installing, configuring, and beginning to use Oracle 8i under Linux. Another booklet offers some advice on tuning the I/O and memory-management behaviors of the DBMS in Linux. --David WallOracle8i is the only database specifically designed as an Internet development and deployment platform, extending Oracle's long-standing technology leadership in the areas of data management, transaction processing, and data warehousing to the new medium of the Internet. Built directly inside the database, breakthrough Internet features help companies and developers build Internet-savvy applications that lower costs, enhance customer and supplier interaction, and provide global information access across platforms and across the enterprise.
