INPRISE CORP. OUT WITH PURE JAVA DBMS FOR MOBILE, EMBEDDED APPLICATIONS.Scotts Valley, Calif.-based Inprise Corp. has just announced JDataStore, a pure Java Refers to initiatives from Sun that specify 100% compliance with its Java specification. The goal is to maintain a consistent, single interface for Java so that all Java Virtual Machines can run all Java programs. See Holy Grail. Database Management System (DBMS (DataBase Management System) Software that controls the organization, storage, retrieval, security and integrity of data in a database. It accepts requests from the application and instructs the operating system to transfer the appropriate data. ) that delivers platform independence and portability in a small-footprint package. JDataStore, available free for download for a limited time from Inprise's Web site (www.borland.com/jdatastore), is tightly integrated with JBuilder, Inprise's Java development tool, and provides universal database access for the Java platform. The product allows developers to write code once, with a much faster development time, and allows applications to run on any system with a Java 2 Virtual Machine (JVM See Java Virtual Machine. JVM - Java Virtual Machine ). "JDataStore, which operates seamlessly with JBuilder, is a natural progression for our commitment to Java," says Dale Fuller, interim CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Inprise. "JDataStore's Pure Java implementation allows users to access data over multiple platforms, thus allowing companies to succeed in a Web driven economy." Fuller says JDataStore can function as a server or be embedded into "client-side" or remote applications with top performance and virtually zero administration. It is a complete solution for Java platforms including: mobile computing, Internet applications, Web servers and Enterprise JavaBean (EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) A software component in Sun's J2EE platform, which provides a pure Java environment for developing and running distributed applications. EJBs are written as software modules that contain the business logic of the application. ) servers. Other key features include object relational storage; Pure Java Database Connectivity (JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) A programming interface that lets Java applications access a database via the SQL language. Since Java interpreters (Java Virtual Machines) are available for all major client platforms, this allows a platform-independent database ) local or remote Type 4 drivers; JavaBean components that allow direct access to JDataStore; and lightweight replication and synchronization technology. |
