Inside This Issue:

	Inside c-treeACE: Transactional Technology In last month's issue we introduced the c-treeACE database engine from the inside with its core technology. In this issue we build upon that core functionality and describe the transactional technology available that drives many of the advanced features of c-treeACE. The Transactional Technology layer includes the low-level functions to control and maintain transaction integrity, guaranteeing complete recovery of data should an unexpected outage occur, such as hardware or power failures. c-treeACE is fully ACID compliant: Atomicity Consistency Isolation Durability As such, c-treeACE provides the highest levels of transaction integrity. With the c-treeACE transaction logging facility, many advanced features can be enabled such as dynamic dumps with complete roll forward capability and complete index data backup; replication to failover sites; and transaction history for auditing.

Auditing of database activity has been part of computing history since the earliest days in the form of audit logs and trails. Most applications take responsibility to build and maintain their proprietary secure set of change logs. c-treeACE provides built-in capabilities to track changes at their source as an additional level of security.

c-treeDB Does Java the Record-Oriented Way

As with most “one-size-fits-all” solutions, a fully relational approach may not always be the most appropriate choice. Introducing c-treeACE Java to the Java development community.

The Kissing Cousins of Java and .NET

The Java programming language initially began as a project at Sun Microsystems over two decades ago. It has enjoyed wide success even though it was a technology considered ahead of its time and almost never came to be. As part of the Windows product strategy, Microsoft chose a different approach with a unique language portability feature over platform portability. See how the two compare… and contrast.
