1. Don't Forget 4D 2004 is in it's
Sunset Phase
4D v11 SQL is fast, easy and
quick to integrate - It is time to upgrade
 Consider your move
from 4D 2004 to the 4D v11 SQL product line. 4D v11 SQL has proven to
be a powerful and robust solution (check out some success stories)
that will allow you take advantage of new operating systems such as
Windows 7 and MAC OS X Snow Leopard.
Upgrading now also ensures that your data will continue to run on the fastest
and most feature-complete 4D software ever. Learn more about
4D v11 SQL here.
If short-term restrictions require you to maintain 4D 2004, we suggest
that you purchase additional 4D 2004 licenses now as prices will be increasing next month.
Contact 4D Sales at sales@... or
1-800-785-3303 to discuss your business needs and how upgrading to 4D
v11 SQL may be your best option.

2. 4D Summit 2009
Weekly Digest
Session Spotlight: XSLT
XSLT is an open standard programming interface to transform an XML
document to another form of text. The output could be (but is not
limited to) other forms of XML such as SVG or plain text. Through the
use of specific commands, attendees will see a widened perspective on
how to manage XML with 4D v11 SQL.
This session is a sample of the over 100 technical sessions at the 4D
Summit 2009. More session descriptions can be found here.
Don't forget to register
Early-bird registration ends on August 28th. That's
also when hotel prices will increase from the discounted rate of $179
per night.

4. Tech Note
Central
This week's topic: Triggers
in 4D v11 SQL
Triggers are methods attached to a table whose execution depends on
database events; when a record is being created, modified or deleted.
Because of this, they can be used for a variety of reasons like data
control, relational integrity, encrypting and decrypting data and so
on.
These actions can be done outside triggers but the developer needs to
take into consideration that records can be created, modified and
deleted not only from 4D forms but also from web connections, ODBC
connections, SQL Pass-through and so on. In cases like these, triggers
can be used to track for any record changes.
This Technical Note describes the trigger mechanism in 4D.
This
is only a sample of the many valuable Tech Notes that are available to
4D Partners in the 4D Knowledgebase.
There are many more advantages to becoming a 4D Partner. Visit 4D Partner Central for
