The Cheetah Database System is an open source implementation of the once commercial database product by PlanetSquires Software. Cheetah is an xBase database library intended for programmers. It features Visual FoxPro and dBase III Plus style database and memo tables. Indexes are based on proprietary btree algorithms that allow for extremely small and fast files. Best of all..... IT'S FREE.

Cheetah Database is a great alternative for much more expensive xBase library products. Cheetah is designed from the ground up to be fast without sacrificing ease of use. You will not be disappointed with Cheetah - it is small and fast!

Cheetah uses a generic interface style to a 100% pure standard Windows DLL. There is only one function to call (xdbCheetah). Code wrappers for specific programming languages are easy to create (currently, PowerBASIC and FreeBASIC wrappers exist).
