| PointBase: Java development has never been so simple
Since its inception in 1995, Java has become the language of choice for
developers looking to create applications, middleware and tools to help
organizations compete in a fast-paced world.
That’s where DataMirror’s powerful PointBase comes into
play. The secure, zero administration and full featured SQL92/99 JDBC-compliant
Java relational database seamlessly integrates into Java development environments
and application server tiers to help users build and deploy portable Web
applications. With PointBase, Java developers can create applications
faster and with fewer errors, thereby accelerating development cycles,
reducing development costs, and becoming more responsive to users’ needs.
For true adaptability, PointBase comes in three versions:
- PointBase Embedded – for server application development
- PointBase
Micro – a compact database written for handheld devices
- Transformation
Server for Mobile – for synchronizing data between
databases residing on mobile platforms and corporate back-end
databases
PointBase Embedded: PointBase Embedded, DataMirror’s flagship
PointBase solution, a platform-independent, full-featured relational
database written entirely in Java. It’s ideally suited for software
vendors developing in Java who need a database for effective storage
of metadata, application-specific and interim data storage, and out-of-the-box
tutorials and demonstration materials.
Key benefits of PointBase Embedded include shorter development cycles
and faster time to market, complete portability across all platforms,
low or no impact on application and system performance, and fast Web
downloads for application testing, evaluation and deployment.
PointBase Embedded supports platforms with Java 2 Enterprise Edition
(J2EE™), Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE™) and Java 2 Micro
Edition (J2ME™ CDC), and it complies with SQL 92 and key features
of SQL 99 standards. A Server Option is available for multiple and remote
clients.
PointBase Micro: Looking for a way to improve productivity of your mobile
workers? Boost their performance with PointBase Micro, a platform-independent,
relational database written entirely in Java and optimized for mobile environments.
This robust, ultra-compact solution can be embedded directly into mobile
applications and is completely transparent to the user. It is small enough
to run on virtually all of today's mobile devices yet includes comprehensive
SQL functionality. It’s easy to deploy, install and operate with
many applications and on any mobile platform.
Key benefits include cross-platform functionality for laptops, tablet
PCs and PDA, and Java-based portability to eliminate recompiling for
multiple platforms and reduce application upgrade complexities.
Pointbase Transformation Server for Mobile: Keeping critical mobile
data up-to-date and productive requires periodic synchronization with
corporate back-end databases. DataMirror Transformation Server
for Mobile, a Java API, accomplishes this by taking just the data
you need and synchronizing it with the corporate databases without
the need for constant wireless access.
PointBase Transformation Server for Mobile supports platform-independent,
bi-directional synchronization with Oracle®, Microsoft SQL® Server™ and
other JDBC-compliant databases.
