DATASTORE vs FINAL DATA FEATURE COMPARISON

IMPORTANT NOTES: Final Data uses a spreadsheet-like interface. Your
only option is to enter data into rows and columns. You cannot
change the appearance of data, or enter the data in a different
manner. Datastore allows you to design your own forms so that data
can be presented in any manner, and entered in easy-to-use data
entry forms.

Final Data can't generate reports and doesn't offer queries. Once
again, you're stuck with a spreadsheet-like grid. Datastore has
powerful and easy-to-use query and report features.

Note that neither program is relational.


To print this file, use a monospaced font such as Courier.
