High Performance Database Engine
Database Engine
The full y integrated native ODBC API ensure s developers get high-speed performance from DBMaker's powerful internal database engine. The engine provide s exceptional efficiency with relational data access. M ultiple indexing methods combined with a powerful automatic cost-based query optimizer means fast searches and super efficient storage. To optimize the speed and concurrency of data accessed by multiple users, DBMaker dynamically adjusts between table, page, and row

locking levels. Moreover, DBMaker implements multi-threading like never before , ensuring improved performance on s ymmetric multiprocessing systems.
Advanced Compression & Caching
Watch as DBMaker 5 delivers more data using fewer network packets with on the fly seamless data compres sion . Decompression at the client is just as fast and just as transparent.
Best-Fit Dynamic Page Size
DBMaker 5 provides a new level of performance with variable page size s. Small page s create a flood of I/O operations when access ing large records . Yet, other times small pages are advantageous. So , now you choose the right size for the job with DBMaker 5 and variable page size.
Maximum Concurrent Data Access
Now with DBMaker 5, don't lock more than you need. Why lock an entire page when you only need to access a row? So, with the new Index Row Locks in DBMaker 5, you maximize performance by maximizing data access concurrency. With only the rows, or pages, locked that really need to be locked, more users access more data more quickly. Of course, the page lock is still there for when you need it.
Open Interface
DBMaker 5 works so well with so many, we can't help but name drop. With a native ODBC interface and ANSI SQL-99 support , development with any of the popular tools like Visual C++, Visual Basic, Delphi , AcuBench , and CASEMaker ' s Totem is a breeze. Work with the tools you have in an un restrict ed non- proprietary development environment. Moreover, the DBMaker JDBC Driver enables database access for Java applications and applets . Now, DBMaker business applications are more flexible, more connected, and more platform adaptable . |

High Portability and Scalability
Extensive cross-platform support and unique open architecture ensure that your needs will never outgrow DBMaker. You can deploy database applications across several platforms and easily scale from a small single-user system on a notebook computer all the way up to large multi-user system distributed around the world. In order to facilitate this around-the-world distribution, CASEMaker offers great features 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 great database management solution for any ISV seeking to add value to its current software suite.
Multimedia Data Management
While DBMaker has always supported multi-media, and now DBMaker 5 extends, expands, and enhances those capabilities. Multimedia management isn't an after thought in DBMaker . Store and manipulate massive amounts of multimedia data including text, graphics, audio, and video. Weather 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.

capabilities also provide exceptional flexibility, allowing you to easily store multimedia data in different ways depending on your needs. Converting BLOBs into pure text provides flexibility and easy full-text indexing and full-text searching. The DBMaker XML Data Bridge enables great flexibility and connectivity as it supports transfer of XML data to and from DBMaker. XML is quickly becoming the industry standard for publishing and sharing data on the Internet. DBMaker now allows you to easily publish tables as XML documents. XML support marks the ever-growing family of data types in DBMaker 5. XML provides key advantages when developing for today's Internet. Its self-description and extensibility make for a highly flexible data exchange tool and the built-in XML functions make XML data management easy.

XML is quickly becoming the industry standard for publishing and sharing data across the internet. Responding to this trend DBMaker now allows you to easily publish tables as XML documents with the help of DBMaker XML Data Bridge. It enables great flexibility and connectivity as it supports transfer of XML data to and from DBMaker.
DBMaker COBOL Interface
The new DBMaker COBOL interface (DCI) provid es your programmers with modern and secure database technology that does not require translating critical COBOL operations like WRITE, REWRITE, DELETE , and READ i nto SQL syntax. Stop rewriting your COBOL applications and start saving time and money with DCI.

functions and security. DBMaker 5's completely new log system records a detailed audit trail like nothing previously available. Built-in logging levels provide a fast and easy interface yet the results are anything but superficial. Comprehensive logs include all you need to know about your data.
Integration & Bundling with your Applications
DBMaker 5 is the perfect companion to bundle with your applications. Support for a variety of robust development tools means seamless cross-platform integration. Furthermore, DBMaker offers a lightweight kernel and embedded database engine specifically designed for easy bundling on your application's CD-ROM and later simultaneous installation via your installer without any additional DBMaker installation procedures.
