RDMe dataFlow with Raima Databases
This paper outlies how the need for real-time data throughout the many levels of an organization the RDM embedded databases and dataFlow technologies on real-time embedded computers (devices), desktop and servers platforms.
High Availability Using Raima Database Manager Server
High Availability (HA) is a broad term that can mean many things to just as many people. For the most part however people agree that it should describe the overall accessibility of data to the user. This paper highlights how Raima Database Managers provide developers with the ability to obtain high availability.
Database Migration from MySQL to RDM Server
This document is designed to act as a quick guide to the database migration from MySQL to RDM Server by exposing the differences between the two products with regards to the data types, features and SQL statement syntaxes supported differently between them.
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.
