I've been a professional database developer since 1988, using Alpha Software's products exclusively. With each new database product, I'm amazed at the foresight, maturity and ingenuity.

Alpha Five version 5 is leaps and bounds beyond anything the database development community has ever seen. I'm astonished that the company even attempted to release such an ambitious product. And I'm pleased to report that, having used it in production for several months now, all the things they thought to give us work, and work well!

As a beta tester, I was compelled several times to fire off a simple email to the developers telling them just how much I enjoyed and was impressed by their labors. It seems like nearly every day I discover something else that makes my life easier and my clients happier.

The Alpha Software Corporation has shown its dedication to developing a relational database management program that is easy for the non-developer to understand, and powerful enough for even the most demanding, complex requirements. From it's graphical interface to the full-featured Xbasic programming language, there's nothing you can't do.

Alpha Five version 5 is the proverbial "better mousetrap." I wish I could find a way to get the world's database developers in a stadium for just one hour, and show them Alpha Five. The world will have changed in just that one hour.

If you or your organization have a need for a database management program, you owe it to yourself to buy at least one copy.

This is a simple, easy, understandable recommendation: Get Alpha Five. It's the best tool for your needs.
