MaxDB™ 7.5.00.18 now available for Linux/AMD x86-64

With the new version 7.5.00.18, MaxDB is shipping with 64-bit support for Linux/AMD platforms.

MaxDB™ has a long history in supporting 64-bit platforms since 1995 the database structures were adopted to 64-bit requirements to support the DEC OSF/1 platform. Subsequently, MaxDB was ported to the major 64-bit architectures. Since 1997/1998 IBM AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, and FSC Reliant have been supported.

With SAP DB 7.4 the next platform joined the club in 2001: Windows (NT) on the IA64 Itanium architecture. Together with the rapid adoption of Linux, Linux on IA64 was supported in 2002 with SAP DB 7.4.03.

MaxDB for HP-UX/IA64 recently has been launched and there are further ongoing porting activities for MaxDB on Linux/IBM PowerPC/64, which should become available with the MaxDB 7.6 alpha-Version in late 2004.

At the end of the current list of porting targets are MaxDB on Windows/AMD x86-64 and on Windows/Intel x86-64.

Summing up, this shows that MaxDB development has always been aware of the 64-bit landscape and has extensive experience with the challenges of these architectures for nearly 10 years.

What else is included in 7.5.00.18

  • Processing of JOIN operations has been optimized.
  • A new Perl DBD version is available at http://search.cpan.org/~maxdb/
  • The usability of the tools dbanalyzer and dbmcli has been improved.
