All you ever wanted in SQL Database Management System and more

DBMaker - the ultimate SQL DBMS -
easy to use, low in cost, and rich in features.

Choosing a suitable database system can be a tricky business. You must take into consideration the strength of your MIS department, the life cycle of an information system within your organization, the technical support capability of the database supplier, the kind of computer equipment you are currently using and any plans you may have for expansion in the future.
With these consideration in mind CASEMaker Inc. offers you the ultimate solution to all of your database needs. DBMaker - easy-to-use, low-cost, feature-rich SQL DBMS built around a tightly integrated, advanced database engine. DBMaker brings cost-effective scalability and reliability to independent software vendors (ISVs) and developers looking to improve functionality and database performance.
DBMaker provides a multitude of robust features that enhance the power, performance and flexibility of any application. With native ODBC interface, multimedia capabilities, large database features and cross-platform support, DBMaker integrates multimedia and traditional database functions in one affordable, easy-to-use package.

High Performance Database Engine

DBMaker is a perfect match for developers looking to build fast, compact applications. This high-speed performance is ensured by full integration of native ODBC API, multimedia handling and efficient data access routines. To optimize the speed and concurrency of data accessed by multiple users, DBMaker dynamically adjusts between table, page and row locking levels. The automatic cost-based query optimizer guarantees that query results are returned as quickly as possible. Moreover, DBMaker uses multi-threading, where possible, to ensure improved performance of SMP systems.
Powerful multimedia management capabilities built into database engine allow you to efficiently store and manipulate large amounts of multimedia data including text, graphics, audio, video and animations. Multimedia management capabilities also provide exceptional flexibility, allowing you to easily store multimedia data in different ways depending on your needs. You may store multimedia data directly in the database as Binary Large Objects (BLOBs), or you may store your multimedia data as File Objects, granting third-party multimedia tools full access to your multimedia data while still keeping it under database control.

Efficient Data Access

DBMaker has a powerful high performance internal database engine, which is responsible for generating and storing the multitude of complex types of data. In this version of DBMaker we have redone the internal engine to provide better efficiency for accessing relational data. Now DBMaker generates and stores your data much faster and much more efficiently then ever. It works exceptionally well even with the most complex types of data.

XML Data Bridge

The DBMaker XML Data Bridge enables great flexibility and connectivity as it supports transfer of XML data to and from DBMaker. Most of you have faced a situation when you need to pass the data around the web and get the data through the web. Naturally, in order to do that you would use XML format. Now, thanks to this bridge you are able to get XML data from and put it into your database without any hassle.

Open Interface

Using the native ODBC interface and ANSI SQL-92 support, you can quickly create high-performance applications using variety of popular development tools, including Visual C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, AcuBench and CASEMaker's Totem. Thus DBMaker allows you to work with the tools that you already have, and it doe not restrict you to a proprietary development environment.
DBMaker JDBC-ODBC Bridge enables greater flexibility and connectivity because it supports development of Java applications and applets as well as grants these applications access to DBMaker databases. The bridge provides developers who wish to build business applications using DBMaker with high levels of adaptability, power and ease of use.
The DBMaker COBOL interface (DCI) is the new interface that does not require critical COBOL operations (such as WRITE, REWRITE, DELETE and READ) to be translated into SQL syntax. The DCI thus saves programmers the time of rewriting their existing COBOL applications, while at the same time providing them with modern and secure database technology.

Portability

Extensive cross-platform support and unique open architecture ensure that you will never outgrow DBMaker. You can deploy your database applications across several platforms and easily scale from a small single-user system on a notebook computer all the way up to a large multi-user system distributed around the world.
In order to facilitate this around-the-world distribution CASEMaker offers a perfect solution for managing large volumes of interactive information on a Web Server. DBMaker comes with several basic functions such as SQL, multi-user capability, transaction management, security management, consistency management, crash recovery, online backup, etc., making it a truly perfect solution for the database management in the Internet Age.

It's So Easy

Easy installation and setup allows you to begin using DBMaker in a matter of minutes of unwrapping the box, no matter what platform you use. DBMaker includes versions for all platforms on the same single CD_ROM, so there are no hidden extra costs when moving between platforms. Novice database users will especially appreciate the simple management features and graphical tools that are consistent across all platforms. Furthermore, DBMaker's robust performance and extensive features are not a trade-off for size. Its compact size let you use DBMaker almost anywhere.
