It is natural that the Microsoft SQL Server becomes the database for the Windows NT operating system. The SQL server is a relatively new database developed by Microsoft in cooperation with Sybase. It is specially designed for working with Windows NT and it uses all its characteristics, which gives it an advantage over other databases which have their own versions of Windows NT. The development of client applications in a graphics environment may be implemented with any Microsoft development tool: Access, Visual Basic, Visual C++ or Visual FoxPro. Visual FoxPro was used for developing applications. 3.2.
