Jing Zhang · Journal of Central South University of Technology(Natural Science) · 2001
Power Builder and Microsoft SQL Server are two popular tools for database application system. With their unique system structure and excellent properties, they have been well accepted by users. As a planar and three dimensional alternating drawing software, AutoCAD has been used widely in the fields of construction, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and so on. It is very important for users to operate and manage their information of AutoCAD drawings. Making use of PB 7.0, the best database application system tool, and MS SQL Server 7.0, i.e. , the background DBMS, integrated with the Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) technology, we can develop a powerful and convenient database application program which satisfies users. The connection between PB and MS SQL Server, the design of database table,form and a database application program are introduced by a typical example.
