Litebase - an embedded database management system
Jointly with 5.7 version launch comes Litebase, a new product that was based on PDBDriver, which is going to be discontinued in few months. The new internal file format provides a better performance and the new transaction control improves liability in persistent memory devices. The objective is to have soon, a complete embedded database management system that runs over a wide range of PDAs and Smartphones and should be able to work with another languages and development platforms.
In coming versions that will be launched in the first half of 2007 some new functionalities will be added: joins, foreign keys, compound primary keys/indexes, new data types (null, decimal), new functions.
Litebase is NOT an open source product, however in its 1.0 version; the product adopts a license that allows developers to distribute it freely without additional costs. In short, there is no financial impact for all current PDBdriver users and beneficiaries that wish to adopt Litebase and its license.
The full documentation is available as
Litebase companion pdf document and in the javadocs
included within SDK. This document also contains all instructions for migration from PDBDriver to Litebase's internal file format. The migration procedure is quick and simple (automatic in some cases), and does not impact the current systems in production.
