SAF Result Compiler^TM - Database Features

SAF Result Compiler uses Sun Java DB as its data repository. It provides a full-featured, robust, small-footprint Java database management system that is cost effective and simple to deploy. Java DB has the following features and benefits:

 

Pure Java
Java DB is written in Java to take advantage of Java's write once, run anywhere promise.

Standards-Based
Java DB technology adheres to database standards such as JDBC and ANSI SQL standards. This means Java DB provides the functionality expected of a sophisticated relational database, including SQL syntax, transaction management, concurrency, triggers, and backups. It also means that it is easy to upgrade an application using Java DB to other standards-based databases, such as Oracle and DB2.

Application-Embedded or Client-Server Mode
The flexibility to support both embedded and client-server mode allows Java DB to adapt to diverse deployment scenarios. In embedded mode, Java DB runs on the same JVM as the application and users may not even be aware that they are accessing a relational database.

 

Easy to Use
Java DB is easy to use and requires no administration if embedded and little if used in client-server mode.

Secure
Java DB provides a numbers of security mechanisms including database file encryption, authentication through either external LDAP directory or built-in repository, and authorization. In addition, access to the database can also be controlled at read-only or read-write level.

Sophisticated – With Triggers and Stored Procedures
Java DB allows triggers to be defined to ensure referential integrity. It also supports Java stored procedures.
