This is the latest release from the Raima Database Management Family of products, providing exciting new capabilities and functionality for embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. application developers. Below are a few of the new features released in RDM Server 8.1: Dynamic Role Switching - an important feature for high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. applications RDM Server now allows master database servers to become a slave and a slave to in turn become the new master. This is all accomplished without the need to bring down the system. Table Level Replication - moving beyond database replication this release provides the ability to choose which tables within the database to be replicated. This minimizes the use of valuable resources by not replicating unnecessary data. Hitless Upgrades - in high availability applications bring the application down for upgrades is usually not an option. This release of RDM Server allows developers of high availability applications to design upgrades to their systems that can be applied without disrupting the system. Replay able Initialization in·i·tial·ize tr.v. in·i·tial·ized, in·i·tial·iz·ing, in·i·tial·iz·es Computer Science 1. To set (a starting value of a variable). 2. To prepare (a computer or a printer) for use; boot. 3. - this feature removes the dependency on the RDM Server file format, which requires an on disk copy of the database file, allowing replication between in-memory tables and disk tables. Also it allows replication to be accomplished between RDM Server and other third party databases. An example of this might be the replication of the data on a device to a backend enterprise database. Pluggable Replication Filters - this feature, along with the Replay able Initialization feature described above, provides the ability for application developers to extend RDM Servers transaction logging to generate user defined transaction as well as replication to third party applications. Administrator GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. Upgrades - new sections have been added to the RDM Server Administrator GUI making the configuration and management of replication information more intuitive. SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. Browser Enhancements - everal enhancements have been made to the SQL Browser providing more flexibility and ease of use.
