McObject Releases eXtremeDB Fusion, Hybrid Embedded Database
McObject today released the latest edition of its eXtremeDB embedded database family. Dubbed eXtremeDB Fusion, the product is a hybrid embedded database -- meaning that it purports to combine the strengths of on-disk and all-in-memory data management in one application.
The idea is to support (within the same database instance, no less) both a traditional on-disk mode of operation, which stores all data on disk and writes changes to disk on a transaction basis, and an in-memory mode that writes to permanent storage only when specifically commanded to do so. They say you can use a simple schema declaration to specify one set of data as transient (managed in memory), while choosing on-disk storage for other record types.
“McObject’s philosophy has always been to put the developer in charge. From the start, our eXtremeDB in-memory database has provided sophisticated tools for control in the development and run-time environments,” McObject Co-founder and CEO Steve Graves said. “eXtremeDB Fusion is the logical next step in that philosophy. With eXtremeDB Fusion, the developer fine tunes database storage modality according to the exact speed, footprint and other requirements of the operating environment and target system.”
eXtremeDB Fusion will be sold alongside eXtremeDB and will be available in High Availability, SQL and 64-bit editions, Graves said. Like eXtremeDB, eXtremeDB Fusion is available for many operating systems and with source code for porting to additional platforms.
