4D Database

4th Dimension (or 4D, or Silver Surfer, as it was know during early development) is a relational database management system and integrated IDE developed by Laurent Ribardière in 1984. In 1993, 4D Server, the client/server version of 4th Dimension was introduced and since 1995, 4D has supported both the Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems. The 4D product line has since expanded to an SQL front-end, integrated compiler and several productivity plug-ins and interfaces. Some of the more useful plug-ins include 4D Write (a word processor), 4D Draw (to draw shapes), 4D View (somewhat like a spreadsheet, but with extra functionality) and 4D Internet Commands (which let you add all sorts of Internet related functionality to a database). There are also over 100 third-party plugins, free and commercial.

Backing up the database consists of generating a copy of the databaseand all its necessary files at a given moment. This copy is placed in one or more backup file(s). Any backup file can later be opened using 4th Dimension in case of any incidents that damage the current database; the database will then be restored to its previous state (at the time it was copied).

Under Windows, a 4th Dimension database consists of four desktop files: a structure file, a structure resource file, a data file, and a data resource file. When you create a new database, 4th Dimension places the structure, resource, and data files in the same folder. If you check the Create Database Folder check box in the Welcome dialog box, allthe database files will be saved into a new folder.
