In what is likely the first-ever database benchmark conducted on an
off-the-shelf mobile phone, McObject® has successfully deployed its
TestIndex application on T-Mobile’s Android-based G1smartphone, to measure
performance of the SQLite embedded database alongside McObject’s open
source Perst™ embedded database on typical data management functions.
The comparison showed that gaps in database performance can be measured as
easily in this pocket-sized test bed as in more traditional benchmark
environments with rack-mounted hardware. On three of the four TestIndex
metrics, Perst performed database tasks significantly faster—more than 16
times faster, in the case of database inserts.
McObject has gathered benchmark results and analysis into a report, available
for free download from McObject’s Web site. McObject also offers the
TestIndex application, with complete sou... (more)
McObject has released Perst 4.0, the latest upgrade of its open source,
object-oriented embedded database for Java and .NET. Version 4.0 greatly

programs, those for which source code is unavailable, and even objects
created in different programming languages.
Perst 4.0 also adds rich new tools for developing mobile and embedded
applications in both Java ME and in Google’s Android environment. For Perst

McObject has released a C#/.NET Framework application programming interface
(API) for its eXtremeDB In-Memory Database System (IMDS) and related product
family. The new API streamlines Windows software creation by enabling
developers to work naturally with eXtremeDB entirely within C#’s
object-oriented domain, while delivering the speed and efficiency of a
database runtime that executes in compiled C code.
When using the C# API for eXtremeDB, there is no external database
definition, and no requirement to compile a database schema. Instead, the API
relies on C#’s reflection capa... (more)
In a major upgrade to its software as a service (SaaS) that connects
companies with their field workforces, Argentina’s Movimiento ATM has
integrated the Perst™ Lite Java embedded database from McObject® in client
software for roaming employees’ BlackBerry, Nokia and other popular
smartphones.
The use of Perst Lite helps keep users up-to-date through faster data access,
and also enhances client software reliability, said Nicolas Rodrigo,
Movimiento ATM general manager. Perst Lite also slashed the development time
of Movimiento’s new Salesforce Solution product by replacing
“hom... (more)
