Software
SQL-Retriever is high-performance middleware designed for rapid development of database access solutions. It uses Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) to deliver UNIX system SQL database information to Windows desktops. It also includes Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), which allows you to access and manipulate data across the intranet or Internet. The simple, open architecture provides access to all popular SQL databases -- simultaneously if necessary -- without the cost or complexity associated with proprietary database vendor networking products or developer tools.
- Open architecture: SQL-Retriever uses ODBC and JDBC to access UNIX system SQL databases from Windows developer tools and applications. This enables solution builders to write vendor-independent applications using virtually any Rapid Application Development tool.
- Internet-ready: SQL-Retriever takes advantage of the Internet to deliver corporate information across the enterprise anywhere in the world. The supplied JDBC "bridge" provides seamless connectivity between UNIX system SQL databases and JDBC-aware Java applets and applications. This provides exciting new opportunities for disseminating database information across the intranet or Internet.
- Fast access: The unique, simple architecture and advanced caching technology deliver fast communications between the client application and the server database management system.
- Managing and supporting users: Solutions developed with SQL-Retriever
have built-in system management capabilities for remote management and support
of all users (e.g. SuperVision).
