BeeBase offers the following features:

• Shared access to a project from multiple instances of BeeBase running on the same or different computers.
• Unlimited number of projects, tables, attributes, and records.
• Attributes can be of type string, memo (multi line text), integer, real, date, time, bool, choice (one item out of many items), reference (easy way to reference a record of another table), button (for starting BeeBase programs), and virtual (compute value on the fly).
• The string type can also manage lists of strings, files, and fonts. A string can refer to an external image which is displayed in the graphical user interface.
• Dynamic loading of records. Records which are not needed may be flushed from memory (e.g. when memory is low).

• Ordering of records by any combinations of attributes.

• Import and export facility.
• Full documentation including user and programming manual in HTML and PDF.
• Operating system independence. BeeBase is available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Amiga. The source code is available as part of a Source Forge project.
