LDBF(Light DataBase Filer) - The client/server DBF-compatible DBMS for UNIX-systems.
LDBF (Light DataBase Filer) is client/server DBMS that operates with dbf files.
LDBF is completely compatible with FOXPRO's data and index formats.
Communication between server and clients are made using TCP/IP proctocol.
LDBF uses client/server architecture that means client makes request to
server for some manipulation with database, server performs it and
returns result to client.Client uses standard set of relational operations
for manipulation with database, compatible with xBase-languages commands.When
using LDBF, the requests are processed by server and the result of query is
sent back over network.Such way of processing guarantees consistency of
databases and more efficient performance.
