Syteview was designed with compatibility in mind. Programs and reports created in Syteview for one version of Syteline
™ will work in all later versions without any modifications, so you can
start rebuilding your code library now and not have to change a thing when you move up to Version 7.
Syteview supports Syteline™ Versions back to
Version 4. Programs and reports created in later Versions will even work in earlier versions, with
fields not present in the earlier Versions simply being displayed as blank text.
Syteview achieves this Version interoperability by wrapping each database table in a Data View. These Data
Views map the changing structures of the underlaying tables to a constant data structure that you can write your code
against one time and never have to change. These Data Views can also be mapped to database tables other than
your Syteline™ tables allowing you to include data from other sources
in your programs and reports or use your live ERP data transparently in other web applications. See Microsoft's
Creating a
Heterogeneous Query with Microsoft SQL Server for more information on mapping data from multiple sources to a Data View.
