Panorama is a database engine and development environment for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.

Overview

Panorama is a product of Provue Development. According to its owner Jim Rea, Provue is the oldest software company (save Microsoft) developing software for the Macintosh personal computer.

Panorama's claim to fame is that the databases it creates are RAM-based; making them extremely fast. Panorama is not as popular as FileMaker, its main competitor, though it has outlasted many similar products.

The current version for Mac is 5.5 (in beta) and 5.0 in general release. For Windows, the current version is 4.0.
