This software will allow programmers to query and retrieve data from a variety of industrial-strength databases such as Oracle, Sybase, Informix and SQL Server using Java. The software will be shipped free with any purchase of Roaster DR2, Natural Intelligence's development environment for Java, or Tango 1.5, EveryWare's latest version of its popular rapid Web application development tool. The two companies will be demonstrating their technology at the "Tools for Dynamic Web Applications" session at Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC WWDC World Wide Developers Conference (Apple) WWDC Wyoming Water Development Commission WWDC West Wiltshire District Council (UK) WWDC Water-World Diving Center (Taiwan) ), and both products will be available for purchase at the show. The Dynamic Web Applications Session will take place from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m., Thursday, May 16, in Hall 1. Java Database Connectivity (database, programming) Java Database Connectivity - (JDBC) Part of the Java Development Kit which defines an application programming interface for Java for standard SQL access to databases from Java programs. http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/jdbc/index.html. (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 ) compliance The new software developed by Natural Intelligence and EveryWare is the first step towards full support of the JDBC specification, allowing Java applications access to any ODBC-compliant database. Roaster and Tango Roaster is a robust, comprehensive environment for developing applets and applications in Java. Tango is a full-featured visual development tool that enables Web administrators to rapidly create dynamic Web applications that interact with Open Database Connectivity See ODBC. (standard, database) Open DataBase Connectivity - (ODBC) A standard for accessing different database systems. There are interfaces for Visual Basic, Visual C++, SQL and the ODBC driver pack contains drivers for the Access, Paradox, dBase, Text, Excel and Btrieve (ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) A database programming interface from Microsoft that provides a common language for Windows applications to access databases on a network. )-compliant databases without writing any HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. (HyperText Markup Language (hypertext, World-Wide Web, standard) Hypertext Markup Language - (HTML) A hypertext document format used on the World-Wide Web. HTML is built on top of SGML. "Tags" are embedded in the text. A tag consists of a "<", a "directive" (in lower case), zero or more parameters and a ">". ) or 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. (Structured Query Language See SQL. Structured Query Language - SQL ) code. Users can create data queries in Tango and use the Roaster software to call the Tango query documents, which return the data into the Java environment in a variety of ways. "The combined feature sets of Tango and Roaster provide a comprehensive set of functionality for Java developers," remarked Joshua D. Wachs, President of Natural Intelligence. "Database connectivity is a key element in building applets and applications in Java that are more than just 3D-animations, but can be used for solution development in the corporate sector." Dan MacKenzie, President of EveryWare, agreed with this assessment: "Using this software with Roaster and Tango will allow developers to provide end users with countless possibilities for visual, live representation of data over the World-Wide Web." "We are always looking for ways to provide our customers with the most comprehensive solution," said Stephen Whiteside, Director of Sales at EveryWare Development Corp. "It's partnering with companies such as Natural Intelligence that will allow our customers to benefit from leading-edge technology, allowing them to create innovative solutions." "We are excited that Natural Intelligence and EveryWare have provided this new Java-based technology for the Macintosh platform," said Larry Tesler, Vice President of Internet Platforms, of Apple Computer, Inc. "Both companies continue to push the envelope for what can be accomplished in this arena."
