Technical Brief

Using the RDM Embedded Native Interface
The technical article points out considerations to make when deciding to go with a commercial real-time embedded database or build your own. It also makes some comments around database models to utilize to get your job done.

Selecting the Application Interface
Control of the Birdstep database is made available through three different API types (not counting JDBC and ODBC): Native, SQL, and JAVA. The API selected is a matter of the application design goals including run-time and maintenance.

In navigation devices of today the This article looks at how commercial of the shelf (CTOS) database solutions can be utilized to solve the dynamic point of interest problem.

Database Management In Real-Time Embedded Systems
The technical article points out considerations to make when deciding to go with a commercial real-time embedded database or build your own. It also makes some comments around database models to utilize to get your job done.

Network and Relational Data Modeling
Data modeling is the process of representing real-world data and their relationships with each other in a form that is ultimately useful within computer programs. Selection of a method for effectively modeling data and relationships is one of the key decisions a developer will make when developing a data-driven system.

Using the RDM Embedded JNI Interface
The JNI interface gives Java developers access to the same small footprint, high performance embeddable database engine utilized by C/C++. This article explains how to get the JNI interface running as quickly as possible.

Why NOT to Use the Relational Data Model
Handling data management the traditional way does not always translate well to embedded systems. The popularity of the relational database model is indisputable but does not mean it's the right choice when dealing with precious CPU, memory, and storage resources.

Building Fault Tolerance into Embedded Data Management
Maintaining data integrity in embedded applications while also ensuring 24/7 operation is a complex challenge, especially when the constraints of real-time performance are added.
