Servertec Persistent Object Store

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: DBMS

Author: Servertec

Object oriented database engine for standalone database applications.
POS is built around a multi-threaded database engine optimized to reduce access to disk. The API is similar to System.Collections.Hashtable or java.util.Hashtable and does not require SQL, ODBC, JDBC or object/relational mapping.
Features include:
- engine is only 620KB, making it accessible for use in mobile and wireless devices and in embedded systems applications
- atomic operations with error checking
- individual object locking
- includes utilities for checking the integrity of object stores and indexes and utilities for recovering good key, value pairs from damaged object stores and indexes

Author: Versant

Latest version: 10.0
Added 2003-09-29Updated 2006-09-11

ODBMS/OODBMS for .NET Applications
FastObjects .NET offers an object-oriented alternative to a relational database for .NET persistence delivering both transparent persistence and state management.

- Fully supports the concepts of inheritance, interfaces and .NET Framework collections
- Integrated with Visual Studio 2005; allows automatic updates to your application's database upon each new compilation of your code
- Direct object persistence without mapping
- Transparent persistence and state management through code enhancement
- Concurrent access by multiple users or processes
- Streamlined management of complex data
- Automatic schema evolution
- Replication and failover
- Scalability
- Data and communication encryption
- Memory footprint: approximately 5.5 MB
- Storage: networked FastObjects server, local file system

Objectivity/DB

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: DBMS

Author: Objectivity

Latest version: 9.0
Added 2006-04-28

Object-oriented database management system.

Objectivity/DB consists of shared libraries, several servers, and a set of administrative tools. The shared libraries and servers provide storage and retrieval of local and distributed data, and ensure data integrity through transaction
Objectivity/DB is a database software library that is linked with the application program instead of using a separate data server process. It has C++, Java, .NET and Smalltalk application programming interfaces. It also supports SQL and XML. It includes database design and administration tools that plug in to an Eclipse framework.

A .NET programming interface for Objectivity/DB based on the C++/CLI managed interface provides the following features:
- elimination of the mapping layer between .NET and traditional databases
- automatic C# code generation for persistent class definitions.
- Objectivity/Assist can be used as a visual interface to create and generate the persistent definitions themselves
- a managed library of Objectivity/DB access methods that can be invoked from .NET.
Java features include:
- Support for industry standard Java Virtual Machines
- Database interface is natural for the Java developer
- "single process model" delivers performance by reducing context switching
- Multi-threading support
