Database Services. Sage Accpac currently supports three database choices: Pervasive.SQL,
Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle. Additional databases will be added in the future. When speaking
of different databases, different versions of the same database deserve some notice. Database
versions change frequently, and the Sage Accpac business logic does not depend on the peculiarities
of a single database version. Because all database access is abstracted into a Common Database
Services Interface (CDSI), adaptation to a new database version can be done quickly in one place (the
database driver), with less detailed testing of the whole application required.
