    'Centura' used to be the generic term used for Gupta SQLWindows / TeamDeveloper and associated toolset. Actually, Centura only released one version of the toolset - v1.5. The toolset is now owned and developed by OpenText ( and is commonly referred to as Gupta ) and the latest release is v7.1 - which is native 64bit , UNICODE and .Net enabled. Go here to see the OpenText Gupta Product Overview : https://www.opentext.com/what-we-do/products/specialty-technologies/opentext-gupta-development-tools-databases/opentext-gupta-team-developer – Steve Leighton Mar 21 '18 at 02:05

Good stuff. Moved on a lot since 1999.

SQLWindows is now 64bit ( version 7 onwards ) , UNICODE ( v5 onwards ) and .Net enabled.

Well there are many resources - you just need to know where to look. Also there are many, many manuals - I'll attach some here as a starter. If you need anything specific e.g. ReportWriter or Connectivity or DBA etc - just say and I will attach.

1) Gupta / Centura Manuals (ALL versions !)

Here are some other links you MUST have:

2) Gupta Global Community Forum - ( Sign-in and you get more options )

3) Archived Global Community Forum ( Read Only)

4) Gupta Team Developer/SQLWindows Wiki

5) Team Developer Sample Vault

6) TekTips Centura Forum and (another) TekTips Gupta Forum

7) Gupta SQLWindows - SQLBase - TD.Net Users & Developers Network

  • Steve, where can I find docs for 5.07? I have some problems with UNICODE using( wiki doesn't help) – LustAndWipe Mar 30 '18 at 20:10
  • I will upload the Manual for 5.0 to the Gupta / Centura Manuals Site. Although the 5.1 manual should cover it. Otherwise you can either post the issue here, or post your question / issue to the TD Forum here: http://forum.tdcommunity.net/ under the TeamDeveloper 5.x section, and you will def. get help that way - as just about every UNICODE issue has been worked through by now . – Steve Leighton Mar 30 '18 at 21:47

2. Team Developer - API Reference

3. Connecting SQLWindows Objects to Databases

  • Your link only references TD5.1 . Misleading I think , as the request specifically mentions Centura ( which is TD 1.5.1 ) , and we are now up to version 7.1 . Also your link is just a subset / repetition of the link already given earlier. – Steve Leighton Mar 21 '18 at 01:51
  • thanks for your comments! kindly note the question is not specific to version 7.1. And is not a repetition of links listed by you. – Chandralal Mar 21 '18 at 04:22

I found a guy that made some videos on YouTube teaching Gupta.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNQmauumXnBc_kS9cyUJ3d3u2nNWXms0z

He also wrote a book CDT2000 and share for free a actualized version on web.

  • There are thousands of YouTube videos on the entire Gupta Toolset. Just search for 'Gupta Team Developer. or 'Gupta SQLBase'. And they are in English. – Steve Leighton Jan 11 '23 at 20:57
