Gupta Technologies, LLC was a software development company based in Roseville, Placer County, California. It was later renamed to Centura Software in the late 1990s and then to Halo Technology Holdings, Inc in 2005. It was acquired by Unify Corporation in 2006.
Its principal products are the SQL relational database management system SQLBase, a mobile HTML5 enterprise development system called TD Mobile and a rapid application development system called Team Developer (also known as SQLWindows). The company is considered as the provider of the first client/server relational database software that would run on personal computers (PC), rather than mini computers.
Company history
The company was founded in 1984 by Umang Gupta, a former vice president at Oracle Corporation. Gupta's first product was SQLBase, followed by SQLWindows, which combined SQLBase with a graphical user interface and programming language for creating business applications. SQLWindows was one of the first GUI development tools for Microsoft Windows. The company went public in 1993 (NASDAQ: GPTA).{{Citation needed|date=June 2020}}
