Alpha Five (database)


Alpha Five is a relational database management system and rapid application development platform for building desktop, web and cross platform mobile applications. Alpha Five is no longer available as Alpha Software has migrated to a subscription based model called Alpha Anywhere that also allows for mobile computing.

History

Alpha Five is developed by Alpha Software, Inc., which has been continually producing end-user and developer database application software since 1982.
Alpha Five V7 was the winner of the 2005 Product of the Year award for "Best Database" from CRN.com. In 2010 Alpha Five was reviewed along with four other similar web development systems by InfoWorld, who explained that such tools confer a "speed boost to development with features such as WYSIWYG prototyping environments, loads of prebuilt graphical components, and easy deployment."
