The company was founded in 1984 by Umang Gupta, a former manager 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 name of the company was changed to Centura Software in the late 1990s. Centura Software filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in August 2001, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission revoked the registration of Centura's common stock in December 2004 . After the bankruptcy, some assets were kept by a reborn Gupta Technologies LLC, which was acquired by Unify Corporation in September, 2006.
Gupta/Centura's headquarters were in Redwood Shores, California.
SQLBase is targeted towards small PC applications and handheld devices such as handheld PCs and cell phones.
