Excerpts from an interview:

CIOL: Can you brief our readers about the Embarcadero All-Access tool chest?

Malcom Groves: The Embarcadero All-Access is a product solution that makes it easier for our customers to acquire, deploy, use, and manage their software development and database design/management tooling.

Every All-Access Pass unlocks the industry’s most comprehensive tool chest of award-winning, multi-platform Embarcadero products and enables customers to focus on the problems they need to solve, rather than the tools or platforms. All-Access is available in four levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. All levels include access to a worldwide community of over 3 million developers on the Embarcadero Developer Network (EDN).

CIOL: What are the tools/products, which are offered to the developer community from Embarcadero?

MG: All-Access currently contains the following award-winning products:

Delphi, C++Builder, Delphi Prism, Rapid SQL, Embarcadero Change Manager, DBArtisan, ER/Studio, Rapid SQL Developer, Schema, Examiner, EA/Studio, DB Optimizer, J Optimizer, 3rdRail, Delphi for PHP, InterBase SMP and JBuilder.

What is In-memory database system?

Further, any new products that we launch automatically becomes available to the customers, depending of course, on their All-Access membership level.  All-Access puts the full power of Embarcadero’s products and R&D at the customer’s fingertips.

CIOL: Embarcadero has missed out Blackfish SQL tool, which runs on both the .NET framework and on the Java platform in Instant On apart from other 18 developer tools. Are there any plans from Embarcadero to incorporate the needs in near future?

MG: The current set of products in All-Access are just the start. We will continue to expand the capabilities and included products over time.
