Empress delivers one integrated information management system with a host of progressive features in the release of Empress RDBMS V8.10. Empress RDBMS V8.10 is the first in a new line of next generation database application development software by Empress. With this new line comes universal-server enabled technologies, object technologies and several optional features.
Empress RDBMS V8.10 is designed to encompass an enterprise's complete database management needs with its universal data handling capabilities. Whether you need to handle large bulk data or text, numerical data or graphics, Empress provides one database solution. You also have extended functionalities such as User-Defined Functions (UDFs) and User-Defined Procedures (UDPs) to efficiently manage these data types. Furthermore, Empress RDBMS V8.10 offers database developers optional capabilities for their own specific requirements. These include the Empress JDBC Interface and the C++ Host Language Interface.
Features Of Empress RDBMS V8.10 include:
Merging together of object and relational technologies.
Empress combines the traditional capabilities of relational databases with several object database features. These include object-like components such as UDFs and UDPs at various Empress interface levels. Also, object technology resides in Empress's Persistent Stored Modules (PSMs). PSMs provide a foundation for the object oriented capabilities in SQL3.
Components that increase the flexibility of database applications.
UDFs and UDPs deliver more flexibility to the database user. UDFs and UDPs can easily be defined by the user in either of two Empress interfaces, including at the kernel level of Empress's multi-layered architecture. For increased functionality, UDFs and UDPs provide the Empress user with the ability to create an additional functions and procedures to operate on any specific data type that is being utilized. Moreover, Empress's PSMs provide an easy interface for incorporating these UDFs and UDPs into Empress databases.
Features that reduce data access time.
Features such as PSMs reduce network overhead, thus reducing time-consuming waits to access a database. Programs can be designated as procedures and run on the server side of a client-server architecture; this greatly increases data-access time, efficiency and performance.
A JDBC Interface.
Empress users can write Java programs using the optional Empress JDBC Interface. This application program interface works through the Empress ODBC server to access a database.
A C++ Host language Interface.
This optional component of Empress enables the calling of MR and MX routines from C+ + programs. A utility program empc++ is introduced for compiling and linking the C++ programs.
The Timeseries Indexing Method.
The Timeseries Indexing Method is available in Empress RDBMS V8.10. This indexing method provides another option in addition to the B+ Tree method. For handling data in which the distribution of key values change dramatically over time, the Timeseries Indexing Method is ideal. In addition, it is efficient in managing cyclic data that has a large range and causes the distribution of key values to fall to one side of the tree.
With Empress RDBMS V8.10 Empress introduces these key features that mark the emergence of Universal Server and Object Technologies. Version 8.10 marks a first in a series of next generation Empress products designed to meet present and future database management needs.
