REAL Server Description

REAL Server is the most suitable database server for REALbasic and REAL Studio users and developers who want to convert a single user database to a multi-user one. It's fast, has a small footprint, is highly reliable and runs on Windows, Macintosh and Linux. Do you feel the need for speed? At its core, REAL Server uses SQLite, the most popular database engine in the world. When a new, faster release of SQLite becomes available, REAL Server benefits. In our tests, we found that, overall, REAL Server is twice as fast as Postgres and over four times as fast as MySQL. Your data is safe and sound SQLite is nearly incorruptible. That's why we chose it as the core for REAL Server. In fact, we have never had a single report of a corrupted database. But, just in case, REAL Server has both a journal engine and automatic backup system. Fast, easy installation Most database servers require modifying config files and messing with the command line. Not REAL Server. Just double-click the installer and your server will be ready for use in under one minute! We are not just the makers of REAL Server, we are also a client We wouldn't expect you to depend on REAL Server unless we would do the same thing. Our ecommerce system that keeps track of every customer and order we've taken for almost a decade now, is stored in a REAL Server database. When you order through our online store, you are using REAL Server. In fact, our web site is powered by REAL Server. All of the text on every page of our web site is stored and served up from a REAL Server database. We do this to make it easy to translate the site into multiple languages. Our server has been online for several years and has managed millions and millions of connections with nearly zero downtime. Free to Developers The REAL Server Developer Edition is completely free of charge and enables you to develop an application based on REAL Server without paying license fees until you deploy your application. Accessibility In addition to REALbasic and REAL Studio, REAL Server can be accessed via PHP for use with web applications and ODBC for access from any ODBC-enabled client. And with the included SDK, you can access REAL SQL Server using the C/C++ programming language. Main features: Your data is safe REAL Server is fully ACID compliant. ACID stands for atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable and it deals with reliability of database transactions. This is important because it means that you don't have to worry about users accessing the database in an unfinished state. Users can't see changes that are being made but have not been committed. If the server loses power or crashes in the middle of a transaction, the server is restored to its untouched state automatically. ACID compliance is critical to any database you depend on. Your data is secure with strong AES encryption The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known as Rijndael, is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the U.S. government. It has been analyzed extensively and is now used worldwide. REAL Server supports AES encryption for writing data to the database and in all the network communication between the server and all the connected clients. A server that will grow as you grow REAL Server can handle up to 100 concurrent users and many more in the next release. Each database can hold up to 2 terabytes of data. Finally, REAL Server is fully multi-core aware so it will take advantage of all the computing power you give it. Triggers help keep the integrity of your data intact Database triggers enable DBSA's (Database Administrators) to create additional relationships between separate tables. For example, the modification of a record in one table could trigger the modification of a record in a second table. REAL Server supports the creation of triggers that can execute when rows are inserted, updated or deleted on a table by table basis. Simple file structure makes managing your database easy Some database servers tend to store data as a large collection of files. Often these files are in a standard location that only the database engine itself can access. This makes the data harder to access and manage. Some SQL database engines provide the option of writing directly to disk and bypassing the filesystem all together. This provides considerable setup and maintenance complexity. REAL Server keeps things simple. A REAL Server database is a single ordinary disk file that can be located anywhere in the directory hierarchy. Database files can easily be copied onto a USB memory stick or emailed for sharing. Faster access with automatic data compression REAL Server automatically compresses all data between the server and the client to greatly improve response time. Save time on administrative tasks REAL Server comes with a GUI administration tool that makes it easy to perform all the necessary administrative tasks like adding users, updating tables, etc. You can stay flexible because REAL Server is cross-platform REAL Server is available for Mac OS X (x86 and PowerPC), Windows and Linux (x86). All the databases created by the server are cross-platform. A database file written on one machine can be copied to and used on a different machine with a different architecture; big-endian or little-endian, 32-bit or 64-bit does not matter. All machines use the same file format. Furthermore, we have pledged to keep the file format stable and backwards compatible, so new releases of REAL Server can read and write older database files.
