Raima’s Velocis Database Server Version 2.1 Includes New
Programming Interfaces, Repair Tool and SQL Extensions
New Velocis Release Has Delphi Data Aware Components, Perl DBI
Driver, Rogue Wave DBTools.h++ Interface and JDBC Driver
SEATTLE, February 9 -- Raima Corporation has released Velocis Database Server 2.1, which includes new interfaces for multiple development environments including Rogue Wave's DBTools.h++, Perl, Java and Delphi. Other significant improvements include an integrated repair tool called dbrepair, and two new SQL functions. A free trial version of Velocis 2.1 is now available for download from Raima's Web site at www.raima.com and www.raima.com/java. Programming Interfaces Velocis 2.1 improves the product's integration with four increasingly popular development environments. In addition to Velocis' native C language API and support for ANSI SQL and ODBC, version 2.1 includes the following new interfaces: * Rogue Wave DBTools.h++ interface. The Velocis Access Library for * DBTools.h++ has been created in cooperation with Rogue Wave. It enables direct access to Velocis SQL API in object-oriented C++ programming with the DBTools.h++ class library. * Delphi Data Aware Components. This TDataSet integrates Velocis with * Borland's Delphi development environment and allows Velocis development using Delphi's graphical interface. * JDBC Driver. This is a Type 3 net-protocol all-Java driver that * translates JDBC calls into Velocis ODBC compatible SQL C-API. The driver runs on the server and allows Java applications, applets and Beans to communicate directly with Velocis Database Server, enhancing Velocis' capabilities as a Web database. Client support includes any client device running a Java supporting browser, push client or Object Request Broker. * Perl DBI. Velocis 2.1 provides a driver to support Perl DBI, allowing * developers to access Velocis using the functions, variables and conventions of this standard API. While Velocis previously included a Perl "wrapper" of the Velocis API, this new driver supports database transparency by enabling Velocis to be used in any application written to the DBI standard. Integrated Repair Module Velocis 2.1 also includes a new module, dbrepair, which improves and integrates several Velocis utilities. These utilities include dbcheck, to examine databases for corruption; dbfix, to repair corrupted databases; keybuild, to rebuild indexes; dchain, to sort and repair the delete chain; and dbdefrag, to compact fragmented databases. Dbrepair is provided to help users when corruption occurs due to damaged media or some other cause. SQL Improvements Velocis 2.1 also includes two additions to its SQL support. The product now supports scrollable cursors. Another SQL extension is a unique new feature called customized comparison functions. This extension allows the assignment a user-defined function that performs special comparison operations associated with the column.
