The main competetive product is powerflex, made bei pfxcorp, australia, - http://www.pfxcorp.com/. --79.202.217.84 (talk) 08:55, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DataFlex was a significant product in the late 1980s catch was the product was sold at a premium price and had limited penetration. There was a very active user group in the Fort Worth, Texas area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdp11.caps11 (talk • contribs) 11:31, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Easily switch between database backends ... No compilation needed" - this is not always strictly true: propose deletion of the latter statement. --Mikepeat (talk) 10:09, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No compilation needed should be removed. That is not true anymore 77.26.171.74 (talk) 10:22, 3 March 2020 (UTC) Pepe Guimarães[reply]

Agreed - removed. RJRutherford (talk) 17:04, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The supported database environments text is a bit outdated – suggest aligning it with current DataFlex product information: “DataFlex Connectivity Kits contain drivers and/or configurations for Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, Amazon Aurora, IBM DB2, Pervasive.SQL (Btrieve) and any ODBC-enabled data source including Oracle, Excel, Access, etc.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.57.120.45 (talk) 06:55, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"ODBC" should link to ODBC RJRutherford (talk) 17:48, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

With the release of DataFlex 2021, the supported databases information has changed - suggested new text:

Database connectivity in DataFlex 2021 includes both 32- and 64-bit, Unicode-capable direct drivers for Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2, as well as enhanced 32- and 64-bit, Unicode-capable ODBC support for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Amazon Web Services Aurora, and Oracle. Applications built in DataFlex can be deployed on any database without needing to change source-code or re-compilation.^[1]
