Created VistaDB as the world's first fully managed and typesafe database engine for Microsoft .NET, Mono and Compact Framework

Created VistaDB 3.0, which was the world's first fully managed database engine that let software developers build fully managed and type-safe database applications for Microsoft .NET, Mono and the Compact Framework.

   

Created VistaDB 2.0 database engine and VistaDB 2.0 Server using Delphi.

History: Apollo 7.0 was slated to be the successor to Apollo 6.x, but with the inclusion of our own proprietary file format. There was an internal release of Apollo 7 that featured support for both Xbase and for our new database format. The new database format provided so many advantages that we decided to drop Xbase support entirely from Apollo 7 and focus exclusively on supporting our new proprietary format. With that, we named the release VistaDB 2.0 instead of Apollo which is why there was never a public 1.0 version of VistaDB.
