Objectivity Delivers New Language Support and Distributed Queries with the Industry's Leading Object Database; Objectivity/DB 9.2 Adds Support for C#/.Net and Python; Launches Industry's First Distributed, Parallel Query Engine.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Supporting market demands for its real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data. management solutions for complex inter-related data, Objectivity, Inc. today announces general availability of the new Objectivity/DB(R) Release 9.2. This upgrade release adds support for C#/.Net and Python to the existing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for C++, Java, Smalltalk and SQL/ODBC. The release also includes a groundbreaking parallel query engine that can distribute queries out to small Objectivity query servers located close to the databases to be searched. Objectivity, Inc. markets Objectivity/DB to ISVs, OEMs and end-users for real-time processing Noun 1. real-time processing - data processing fast enough to keep up with an outside process real-time operation data processing - (computer science) a series of operations on data by a computer in order to retrieve or transform or classify information of complex information, document and process management, scientific computing and complex defense and security applications. Objectivity's customers develop solutions built on the Objectivity/DB platform for the government, telecommunications, Internet infrastructure, manufacturing, biotechnology, financial services The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

Objectivity/DB 9.2 intrinsic features include its scalability, 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. , performance and interoperability, supporting customers with a business need for high performance while managing complex data relationships. Better Connectivity and Scalable Queries "The new APIs will make it easier for developers using .Net or doing rapid prototyping Building a part one layer at a time using a method of additive fabrication such as 3D printing. Such parts are used for concept modeling to determine if the product design meets the customer's expectations. to use Objectivity/DB as their main database, or to cache relationships between complex data types stored in other repositories," said Jacques Darakdjian, vice president of engineering at Objectivity, Inc. "Objectivity/.Net for C# eliminates the mapping between C# and traditional databases, which both improves performance and reduces development effort," he added. "As Objectivity's customers started to store Petabytes of information in systems that can have ingest in·gest tr.v. in·gest·ed, in·gest·ing, in·gests 1.

See Synonyms at eat. 2. rates of over a Terabyte per hour, we were asked to provide a mechanism to dramatically reduce search times," said Leon Guzenda, chief technology officer at Objectivity, Inc. "The Release 9.2 Parallel Query Engine, Objectivity/PQE, solves this problem by exploiting the intrinsically distributed, parallel architecture of Objectivity/DB. The new query capability can dramatically decrease the time that it takes to find objects that may be spread across large numbers of databases." Objectivity/DB 9.2 -- New Connectivity, Performance and Usability Features The new features and benefits of Objectivity/DB 9.2 include: --Objectivity/.Net for C# -- A new Application Programming Interface that provides access to the core features of Objectivity/DB. The Objectivity/.Net for C# API is interoperable with the other languages supported by Objectivity/DB, i.e. C++, Java, Python, Smalltalk, 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. ++ and XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. (import and export). Objectivity/.Net for C# works with VisualStudio 2005 in Windows XP The previous client version of Windows. XP was a major upgrade to the client version of Windows 2000 with numerous changes to the user interface. XP improved support for gaming, digital photography, instant messaging, wireless networking and sharing connections to the Internet. . --Objectivity/PQE -- The new Objectivity new objectivity (Ger. Neue Sachlichkeit), German art movement of the 1920s. The chief painters of the movement were George Grosz and Otto Dix, who were sometimes called verists. Parallel Query Engine allows developers to control the amount of local and remote parallelism and optimize the range of a search using user modifiable components. They can also use object-oriented methods to filter the results that the remote query servers find before returning objects to the client. For instance, a search for "Persons whose middle name is John" in Europe could be directed only to "Country" databases for Europe. The filter method could apply a more complex algorithm, such as a local search for certain kinds of medical record, before returning qualified objects. --Objectivity/Python -- A new Application Programming Interface for writing Python scripts and applications that store and manipulate persistent objects. Objectivity/Python can also be used for database administration tasks, including High Availability and Active Schema functionality. Objectivity/Python is fully interoperable with the other languages supported by Objectivity/DB, i.e. .Net for C#, C++, Java, Smalltalk, SQL++ and XML (import and export). --Enhanced Unicode Support -- Enhanced Unicode support will allow Objectivity/DB customers, particularly overseas, to store strings in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 formats. "Objectivity/DB 9.2 not only contains significant new language and query capabilities," said Brian Clark Brian Clark is one of the survivors of Al Qaeda's attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001. Clark is noteworthy as he is one of only a few people in either tower to escape from a floor above the plane's impact. , vice president of technical services at Objectivity, Inc. "We have also added a comprehensive Web Based Coming from a Web server. See Web application. Training site to make it easier for developers to get started with Objectivity/DB, or rapidly learn how to use new features." "Objectivity/PQE has three user modifiable components that control major characteristics of the search engine. Discussions with our customers indicated that they prefer this approach. It allows Objectivity to maintain a stable, reliable, high throughput solution, offering competitive advantages over the alternative closed and open source solutions," states Jay Jarrell, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
