| • | PowerBuilder is a programming language created by Powersoft which was later purchased by Sybase. It is a fourth-generation event driven language used for Rapid application development (RAD). The word 'PowerBuilder' also applies to the integrated development environment used with the language.
It is similar in many ways to Visual Basic with a SmallTalk influence, but focuses on data handling and manipulation. It is generally used as a domain-specific programming language, but since it is a Turing-complete language, it can be used as a general purpose language if desired.
PowerBuilder has a native data-handling object called a DataWindow. This patented object gives the programmer a number of default tools for simplified handling of data transactions in a standardised manner across multiple RDBMS platforms. A DataWindow can be used for creating, editing and displaying data from the "back-end" database.
PowerBuilder was commonly used by companies in the financial sector, in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, but its usage is currently in decline.
As of May 2005, the latest release of PowerBuilder is version 10.
