May 7, 2001 — Bellevue, WA — ITTIA (www.ittia.com) announced today the release of the RDMi™ ODBC Driver for RDM.
ITTIA's RDMi™ ODBC Driver provides an industry-standard programming interface that greatly expands the usefulness of RDM, a widely used, high-performance embedded database management system.
With the RDMi™ ODBC Driver, any RDM-based application can share data with any ODBC-compliant application. In addition, developers and users of RDM-based applications can take advantage of such popular database add-ons as Crystal Reports and Cognos business intelligence tools. RDM, when combined with the RDMiTM ODBC Driver, also becomes data source for ADO and OLE DB through Microsoft's ODBC provider for OLE DB.
One of the primary reasons for using RDM is to control database operations via to its powerful, core level "d_" API. RDMi™ builds on this capability, ensuring the database's efficiency benefits even while providing industry-standard data access. Similarly, RDMi™ takes full advantage of the RDM's combined network/B-tree model data architecture. ITTIA's ODBC driver offers the performance and flexibility users expect from the established RDM product.
The RDMi™ ODBC Driver opens RDM to the world of database interoperability. When customers demand open access to the application data, there is no need to switch database managers or implement a replication scheme. Instead, ITTIA provides developers using RDM with substantially greater time- and cost-effective solution. For companies offering RDM-based solutions, this openness increases an application's value, securing new customers and increasing revenue.
Because RDMi™ is a comprehensive implementation of the ODBC 3.0 specification, it supports the complete range of complex queries: expressions, aggregation, filters, and ordering. RDMiTM exploits network model sets for optimal join processing, and make use of keys for more efficient filters and ordering.
RDMi™ is available in read-only, read-write, single-user and multi-user implementations.
