PowerBuilder, sometimes abbreviated PB, is a computer application development system created by Powersoft, which was later purchased by Sybase. Touted as a Rapid application development (RAD) system, it includes tools for drawing the user interface and reports, and accessing database content. The tools are provided in an integrated development environment that is the application developer's interface to the capabilities of the system. PowerBuilder also includes a scripting language, Powerscript, which is used to specify the application behavior when events occur. Events usually correspond to user actions, such as clicking on an element of the user interface, or closing a window. Powerbuilder is used primarily for building business applications, but could theoretically be used to create any kind of application. Powerbuilder and the applications built with it are used exclusively on Microsoft Windows computers.
PowerBuilder has a native data-handling object called a DataWindow, which can be used to create, edit, and display data from the database. This patented object gives the programmer a number of tools for specifying and controlling user interface appearance and behavior, and also provides simplified access to database content. To some extent, the DataWindow frees the programmer from considering the differences between Database Management Systems from different vendors.
PowerBuilder was used commonly by companies in the financial sector, in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
