Why use CL4?

CL4 is a combination of an efficient relational database system (RDBMS) and a powerful full function fourth generation application development language (4GL), providing high performance in all applications without costly development overheads.

Relational database systems are productive, provide excellent performance and are friendly to use. Multibase CL4 was designed specifically to provide efficient handling of information resources and continues to enable a business to maximise the return on its investment in hardware, software and staff.

CL4 does not require high performance hardware to function. For example, Linux offers a low-cost alternative for many organisations. For price/performance, CL4 continues to offer a powerful development solution with genuine long term value for your business.
