Advanced Functions for the FairCom DB SDK

When you need control, the FairCom DB SDK should be your choice. Direct calls into the core FairCom DB database engine allow you to take advantage of many high performance options. Partial record rewrites, for example, can gain performance when only updating small portions of a large record. The Quiet and Fileblock functions have many options available to precisely give the functionality you demand. When you need control and performance, consider FairCom DB ISAM technology.
