- .description
- Data Master is a database program programmed for Amiga computers.
- It's not the best database program for Amiga (the best shareware data-
- base program??), but it's cheap and specially made for the average
- user.
- In the program there are five different field types which are
- string (text), integer, floating point, type (selection) and boolean
- field types. In one record can be up to 256 different fields and the
- number of records is practically limited only by the size of the free
- memory. Records can be sorted based on eight key fields.
- You can search from the database those records which match search
- patterns given by the user (for example, all records whose first
- field's first letter is A). You can also search for text strings from
- the whole database. Using Data Master it's possible to print the data-
- base for printer or save it as an ASCII file to the disk. Number
- fields can be displayed on the screen as graphic diagrams, and using
- this function you can simply compare records. There is a separate
- field editor for the creating of the fields. Records can be, of
- course, moved, copied, deleted or cleared as a single record or as
- a block which includes many records.
- In the following table there are some maximum values used by the
- program.
-
- The number of records 99999 (memory limits also)
- The number of fields 256
- The number of alternative texts 256
- (type fields)
- The length of the field title 13
- The length of the string field 255
- The length of the unit string 9
- The number of key fields 8
