C#/.NET Developers Gain New In-Memory Database System (IMDS) Option

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 12:25:47 EDT

McObject’s new API for the eXtremeDB In-Memory Database System (IMDS) streamlines Windows software creation by enabling developers to work naturally with eXtremeDB entirely within C#’s object-oriented domain, while delivering eXtremeDB’s unparalleled run-time speed and efficiency. 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 capability to discover database classes and their fields that are defined in the application, in the class definition syntax. This streamlines coding, and the developer's experience is one of working with plain old C# objects. Optionally, the C# class definitions can be used to generate a schema that, in turn, can be processed by McObject’s schema compiler, so that C/C++ and C# programs can use the same database. The C# interface is a port of a Java Native Interface (JNI) that was earlier released for eXtremeDB.
