Embeddable
|
EMPRESS RDBMS can be linked with a client application,
so that the application and EMPRESS run in a
single address space. This allows applications using EMPRESS
RDBMS to be deployed as a single unified program that is potentially robust and efficient.
|
|
Deterministic Response
|
EMPRESS RDBMS supports deterministic response through
alternative data structures and time-out functions. Alternative
data structures allow database response time to be relatively constant.
Time-out functions on database calls return
control to a calling application once a specified time limit has
been exceeded. An application developer can set time-out limits
on inserts, deletes, updates and selects.
|
|
Lightning Fast Performance
|
EMPRESS RDBMS offers a kernel level " C" API called MR routines. Applications written in MR routines do not
need to be parsed at run time. Additional speed functionality
in the MR routines include fine control over locking, memory management,
and selection based on record numbers.
|
|
Flexible Development
|
Developers can use familiar development tools to build applications
embedded with the EMPRESS database engine. There
is no need to learn a new development environment or new programming language. EMPRESS RDBMS supports a number of standard
API's so most popular development tools can be easily connected
to EMPRESS RDBMS. Applications can be developed in a variety of programming languages including C, JAVA, Microsoft Excel, Visual Basic and HTML.
|
|
Friendly Storage Requirements
|
EMPRESS databases can be located on most storage
devices as long as the operating system supports the storage device. Storage devices may be SCSI RAID, IDE, RAM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM
or any new technology the O/S will support. In addition, EMPRESS
database tables may be split across many different storage devices.
So database tables may be in RAM, on hard disk and on CD-ROM.
|
|
Small Footprint
|
EMPRESS RDBMS is highly modular.
The size of the EMPRESS footprint depends on the host
operating system and the number of EMPRESS options
chosen.
|
|
Wide Range of Platforms
|
EMPRESS RDBMS is available on many hardware platforms
and operating systems. In addition, EMPRESS
RDBMS may be easily ported to a user requested hardware and operating
system for a standard fee. Application developers, who embed
EMPRESS RDBMS, have a large choice for both development
and target systems.
|
|
Friendly Partnership Program
|
Application developers have easy access to all EMPRESS
products. Empress Software offers a cost effective way
for application developers to use all EMPRESS products including product support, updates, training, consulting and discounts on run-time modules.
|
|
Advanced Product Distribution
|
Empress Software distribution media contains all available
EMPRESS products for a specific hardware and operating system combination. An installation key is used to " unlock" the selected EMPRESS products. Additional licenses
are installed via new keys sent by email or fax.
|
|
Impossible Made Possible
|
Application developers can easily use EMPRESS advanced
features to quickly develop innovative applications ahead of their
competitors.
|
|
Significant Cost Savings
|
Once deployed in Production Mode, EMPRESS has significant
cost savings:
- EMPRESS has an excellent price/performance ratio.
- EMPRESS RDBMS requires little or no maintenance.
- EMPRESS support and upgrade fees are very
cost effective.
- EMPRESS RDBMS hardware requirements are low.
|
|
High Availability
|
EMPRESS RDBMS supports several high availability
methodologies including database integrity utility, recovery log,
support for RAID systems and EMPRESS Replication Server.
|
|
Deployment Flexibility
|
EMPRESS RDBMS is available for many combinations
of hardware and operating systems. EMPRESS client
and server software can be installed across a wide range of UNIX,
Linux, Windows and Real-Time systems.
|
|
Scalability
|
EMPRESS RDBMS can be deployed on entry-level workstations as well as on high-end 64-bit multi-processor servers.
|
|
