Database Management

• Adds new data dictionary format to existing legacy format
• Supports 255-character length table, column, index, and stored procedure names as well as the ability to specify foreign keys for use in reporting tools and query builders

• Stores date format in the column definitions so there is no need for using date suffixes in column names
• Designed to make it simple for BASIS to seamlessly add new features in the future
