FairCom Drivers and APIs

FairCom DB Interfaces

FairCom Database Engine is a unified, multimodel engine with four types of API: Low-Level, ISAM, Navigational "NAV", and SQL. Multiple applications, using any combination of these APIs, can interact simultaneously with the FairCom DB database engine.

Select your desired interface technology from the links below. You will be directed to a focused tutorial for that particular interface, and experience results in no time.

These tutorials follow best practices, so feel free to copy and paste the code into your own program!

Note: The ReadMe files reference win32 by default. We offer a full range of platforms for Windows x32, x64, and many Unix and Linux platforms. Please replace the reference of win32 to your platform choice when locating any tutorial directories.

FairCom RTG COBOL and Btrieve Modernization

FairCom has developed another product line that brings the power of the full-featured, FairCom Database Engine to COBOL and Btrieve applications. These products give you all the benefits of this technology, including SQL and NAV API access, ACID transaction processing, and robust scalability. This makes the FairCom Database Engine “ready to go” (R-T-G) right out of the box for COBOL and Btrieve applications.
