The modern database for the sports club.
VV Club Management distinguishes itself by following characteristics:
MODERN
VV Club Management is a modern database program for sports clubs. His strength consists in the fact that it is strictly relational. This means that data are never again to be entered as once and that these stand only at a place in the database, even if they are used in several modules.
- The data are saved in tables; every table contains information to a certain object. In VV there are 53 tables.
- The shortcut occurs about views. A view is a sort of pseudo table, a table facade which allows to combine data from several tables. It is put on in VV not on the hard disk, but in the memory of the computer!
- The tables of all ranges from VV – Member Administration, Fee Management, Financial Accounting and Sports Use – are combined in one single file, also all indexes. There is no 'file salad' on the hard disk like with some other databases!
- The same is valid for the menu guidance. All modules run under a common face. You must not change the program, and there is no style break in the service like with other association software. I understand this by modern database!
COMFORTABLY
VV Club Management puts the new standard for user-friendliness and computer power with relational Database Management Systemen on PCs. You as a user would like to devote themselves to your work without looking after how you can make the DBMS deliver the required results. No other association-standard software comes close to this demand thus like VV .
- With masks for the query of data the information contained in the database on the display can be indicated and be edited. In VV there are 58 masks (Forms).
- With lists can be filtered data amassedly, be done clear ordered, calculations and connections be illustrated. In VV there are 75 lists (Reports).
- In application program allows the pull-down menu face to you to move intuitively in the program. In certain manner the database by the application receives a sort of own way of life. The application looks like own program, but in reality makes the database program behind the scenery the real work. In VV there are 5 program modules.
- You can work with program modules like with windows, thus as you would have different programs before yourselves. VV allows to you (or another user) like to work at the same time under Windows commonly, with several modules. Thus the start window with the stock data stays always open, and you can access from the lower bar this and take over values directly in the opened mask in the second window.
- It can be requested to every menu item help without having to exit the program. The help is realised everybody in the form of web pages and can be used so also outside the Club Management.
- Important tables or single lists are saved while calling the menu items automatically as a csv file, formatted text file (txt, rtf, pdf) or formatted web page.
- The program is able of network
—> You can administer the data from different computers, as long as these are in the network interlocking and the database is on one computer which acts as a server.
- The program is able of Client for up to 5 Clubs. Every Club has own stock data.
—> Clients can be, e.g., a bigger division of the Club with own accountancy, the conveyor association or several Clubs with common office.
- The program is prepared for polyglot company. Every Client and every user can select his language.
- The program grants account policies for the program modules to users.
- Steps there to the barrier freedom:
— All masks can be stretched by click on the triangular icon beside x, i.e. be customised on your screen size, besides, the character font is enlarged with. Normal opening on full image against it leaves the character font small. With it the legibility is improved.
— Youy move with [Tab] by the fields of a mask or click with the mouse. With the abandonment of the field this is already saved. A [Return] is not necessary. The field which is ready for the input is deposited fiercely yellow. Youy see so better where the cursor is responsible. A field with choice is deposited fiercely green. This means for you: 'with right click select' (not with double click). The Windows convention is fulfilled with it, that a choice window with right click it is opened. This concerns, as a rule, choice from the stock data, e.g., key for divisions, fees, functions etc. you click, select, confirm – and the field is properly filled, the cursor goes to the next field.
FAST
VV Club Management the modern database management system R:BASE of R:BASE Technologies, Inc, forms the basis. VV becomes a management thereby one of the quickest databases available currently for the Club Management.
R:Base was the first relational database for PCs. It was developed in 1982 under the name MicroRIM of Wayne Erickson. This also developed the superlarge computer version RIM (Relational Information Manager) for Boeing Computer Services. If you want to know more about R:BASE, read here: R:BASE ® versus the Others , or you visit the Home Page from RBTI .

- Provide for the highest speed
— accelerated to access to hard disk
— efficient data indexing system
— smart query optimizer
— 32-or 64-bit programming under use of the 'ANSI-Level II-SQL'
— saving of all data of all tables in one single file
— execution of form operations, EEPs and stored procedures in the memory
— temporary tables and views.
SECURE
VV Club Management profits from in the DBMS R:BASE as one of the first PC databases integrated principle SQL constraints. The primary keys and foreign keys dispose of all possibilities of the index system and save the integrity of the data already at the structure level. In the teamwork from index, rule and primarily / foreign key puts to VV a new standard for the data integrity and safety of PC databases in the Club Management.
- All table data are saved encoded in the database. An access to data is not possible beyond the R:Base-developing environment. This makes VV certainly against attacks on your hard disk.
- Dealings with data in VV:
— Not personal data like the stock data are stored with every access automatically as csv files on the hard disk.
— Personal data are stored always encoded and cannot be read outside by VV. The monthly backups of the members and booking data as well as all backups belong to it with the turn of the year.
— You can receive uncoded table data everywhere where a menu point /Export /Import is offered, e.g., in the menu point Database/Export /Import. Provide then yourselves for the fact that these files do not remain on the hard disk and do not come in wrong hands.
— Vice versa you can force encoded backup in the menu point Database/Encoded export /Encoded import.
REASONABLY
You cannot buy to VV Club Management – I do not work commercially. The program is for nonprofit Clubs (of benefit to the public) FREEWARE. Big nonprofit Clubs pay a low royalty on the R:Base developing environment of RBTI. The Club budget is not loaded by a high acquisition, and the support and updates are included. This offers you only VV!
