small- to medium-range applications. It is the ideal solution for

businesses that want the power of SQL without complex database
|
||
|
administration requirements. With over a decade of proven reliability,
|
||
|
INFORMIX-SE has a strong track record among Unix database servers.
|
||
|
<P>INFORMIX-ESQL/C: Productivity, flexibility, portability, and standards
|
||
|
are what programmers can achieve with the use of INFORMIX-ESQL for
|

|
C. Developers can continue to use these familiar third-generation
|
||
|
languages (3GLs) for developing applications and gain the advantage
|
||
|
of using SQL to access data from those applications. Developers don't
|
||
|
have to build their own database functions saving development time and

effort.

<DT><B>Description:</B><DD><P>Velocis Database Server is designed for database
|
||
|
application developers who are looking for a high performance
|
||
|
client/server or web database engine. Velocis is a scaleable SQL
|
||
|
client/server database engine that provides a rich set of architectural
|
||
|
choices and APIs including ANSI SQL, SQL C-API, low-level C-API, C++
|
||
|
class libraries, and support for custom APIs. Unlike typical relational
|
||
|
client/server database products, Velocis supports both relational and
|
||
|
pointer-based network model databases in any combination as well as
|
||
|
processing on either side of the client/server equation. The choices of
|
||
|
multiple operating platforms, APIs, processing locality (client or server),
|
||
|
and database model can be mixed and combined to satisfy the performance
|
||
|
requirements of virtually any application.
