Oracle Subsidiary Innobase Oy Releases New Embedded InnoDB
Developers, Device Makers, ISVs and OEMs Can Leverage Proven InnoDB Storage Engine in Embedded Scenarios for the First Time
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 21 -- News Facts
-- Innobase Oy, a subsidiary of Oracle, today announced Embedded InnoDB, an embeddable version of the leading InnoDB transactional storage engine for MySQL. Embedded InnoDB is designed specifically for developers, device makers, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
-- Based on the latest release of the InnoDB Plugin, Embedded InnoDB offers all the high-performance, reliability and rich functionality of the InnoDB relational storage engine with a programmatic API for applications that require a small footprint and significant transaction processing capabilities.
-- This new embedded solution is complete and self-contained, minimizing the memory and disk footprint and eliminating overhead and features unnecessary for the target applications.
-- Embedded InnoDB is appropriate for new applications at the "edge" of the enterprise, as well as devices that require an embedded transactional storage system such as cash registers and robotic controls. Unlike key-value pair embedded database alternatives, Embedded InnoDB provides strong typing, schema management and other relational database features that help ensure application reliability.
-- Continuing Oracle's open source commitment, Embedded InnoDB will be made available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The "early adopter" release of Embedded InnoDB is available in binary for several platforms and in source form for free download at: http://innodb.com/products/embedded_innodb/download/.
Proven, Reliable Embedded Transactional Storage for High Performance Applications
-- Embedded InnoDB delivers fast, reliable high-performance transaction processing by minimizing expensive disk operations, and efficiently using memory and processor resources. Embedded InnoDB ensures data integrity and reliability with relational database management features and operational robustness.
-- Key features of Embedded InnoDB include:
-- Run-time Performance and Reliability: Building on its proven history of reliability and performance, Embedded InnoDB delivers all the capabilities of the InnoDB storage engine, including high performance and multi-core scalability, multi-version concurrency with row-level locking and automatic deadlock detection, fault tolerance and automatic crash recovery, clustered and secondary B-tee indexes, automatic insert buffering and hash indexing and strong typing.
-- Strong Programmatic Capabilities: Embedded InnoDB provides applications written in C/C++ a non-SQL, ISAM-like set of function interfaces for creating tables and indexes, performing queries, inserts, updates, deletes and for executing other data management functions. It also offers application programmers an ISAM-like, non-SQL Application Programming Interface (API), cursor management, transaction management, strong data types, among other capabilities.
-- Operational Flexibility: Embedded InnoDB is designed for use in environments that require automatic operations without a database administrator. Embedded InnoDB has a small footprint, is self-configuring, fully multi-threaded and is restartable without process reload.
