SQLBase Technical Advantages
Embed it and Forget Leading Embedded Database
SQLBase’s advanced architecture, seamless interfaces, and ease of use
results in a powerful database requiring minimal DBA management.
SQLBase offers a turnkey solution for developers looking to create and deploy
applications with the flexibility required for everything from desktop machines
to Web servers.
Increasingly, corporations are faced with a need for building applications
that can store and retrieve data in a fast, flexible, and secure manner. The
SQLBase embedded database not only addresses these requirements, but also provides
customers with the unparalleled combination of features and state-of-the-art
database security.
SQLBase is:
Powerful: A true relational database with advanced features
such as advanced cost-based query optimizer to avoid time consuming hand-tuning.
Secure: In SQLBase, a wide variety of security features are
supported; including server security, database page encryption, database page
alteration protection, transmission security and advanced password validation
technology.
Minimal hardware requirements: SQLBase was designed to cope
with the minimal PC memory spaces and lower power CPUs. While it has evolved
to support new functionality and environments, it still retains a footprint
that makes it suitable for the new generation of small laptops, desktop, and
server systems.
Scalable: SQLBase scales easily from a single-user laptop
to servers that serve hundreds of concurrent users. SQLBase provides
advanced locking and concurrency concepts like Page Versioning and Row
Level Locking Behavior.
Automated: Common administrative tasks associated with a relational
database are done implicitly, and other functions such as online backups can
be seamlessly integrated into the application, reducing the tasks that need
to be performed by a database administrator (DBA).
Consistent: Developed for Windows and Novell NetWare, SQLBase
is built on a single code base that provides consistent functionality. This
allows programmers to use a common set of SQL/API functions regardless of the
environment in which they are deploying, eliminating the complexities of dealing
with a different database for each platform. This translates to reduced QA time
and application maintenance costs.
Robust: Transactional integrity is at SQLBase's core, providing
a high level of data assurance. Advanced new and improved efficient transaction
logging capabilities allow for automatic recovery from system failures.
Global: Advanced Unicode and Collation support to enable true
global applications. SQLBase supports any character set and language making
it a great choice for solutions in need of globalization support.
Compatible: A wide variety of standard interfaces are supported,
including ODBC, JDBC, and C/C++, enabling developers to concentrate on their
applications rather than the database.
