ITTIA adds VxWorks to DB SQL embedded database solution

Source: ITTIA
10 April, 2012
DB SQL embedded database now enables VxWorks developers to rapidly develop and deploy data-intensive applications for embedded systems.

April 10, 2012 - ITTIA adds WindRiver’s VxWorks to DB SQL embedded database solution, enabling VxWorks developers to rapidly develop and deploy data-intensive applications for embedded systems.

Benefits:

  • Share data stored in ITTIA DB SQL with a back-end RDBMS.
  • Reduce data management costs, benefit from interoperability, simplify maintenance, and bridge the gap between development of a great VxWorks application and the reality of integrating with a back-end enterprise database.
  • Support for the ARM Cortex processor, which provides multi-core processing performance in both symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and asymmetrical multiprocessing (AMP) configurations.
  • Enhanced capabilities, including new security protocols, date and time functions, and scrollable cursors.
  • Database file protection from unexpected power loss and other interruptions.
  • Support for atomic writes even if the underlying file system does not provide this feature.
  • Cross platform flexibility, in addition to compliance with ANSI standards and SQL offered by ITTIA DB SQL for building mission-critical applications.
  • Two-phase commit support, which allows applications to perform distributed transactions over two or more ITTIA DB SQL database sites.
  • Network traffic optimization enabled by ITTIA DB's table snapshot protocol.
  • Automatic conflict detection, either by comparing the row contents before and after each change, or by generating a unique stamp each time a row is modified.

Such capability allows developers not only to distribute mobile and embedded data between VxWorks devices and any back-end RDBMS, but also to benefit from the replication environment necessary to improve data availability, reliability, modularity, mobility and interoperability.

This feature enables embedded and device developers to identify and send only modified rows.

With this approach, even large tables can be updated without sending the full contents of the table over the network.

ITTIA DB supports policy-based conflict resolution and provides the replication environment needed to improve system availability with distributed commits or synchronous replication across multiple sites.
