Clarion makes it easy for non-developers, and developers of all skill levels, to create database driven apps in minutes ... because Clarion generates the code for you. Clarion can work with any database, whether it's an SQL backend or a local ISAM file, it's all the same to Clarion. You can import from any existing data store or define the exact data definition that you need using the Data Dictionary component. The Clarion Data Dictionary is the heart of every project.
