Panorama (database engine)

Panorama (database engine)

Panorama is a database engine and development environment for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.

Overview

Panorama is a product of ProVUE Development. According to its owner Jim Rea, ProVUE is the oldest software company (save Microsoft) developing software for the Macintosh personal computer.

Panorama's claim to fame is that the databases it creates are RAM-based; making them extremely fast (though as disk speeds and OS and application memory caching have improved, this speed benefit becomes less and less evident as years go by). Panorama is not as popular as FileMaker, its main competitor, though it has outlasted many similar products. What it lacks in conforming to standard application conventions it makes up for in its potential for customisation, incorporating as it does an extremely powerful scripting language.

The current version for Mac is 5.5. For Windows, the current version is 4.0.
