Für kommerzielle Softwarehäuser/OEMs: Der neue MySQL Connector/C++

Dienstag, 14. Juli 2009

MySQL Connector/C++ ist der neueste Konnektor für MySQL. Im Vergleich zu bestehenden C++ Treibern wird mit dem MySQL Connector/C++ ein anderer Ansatz verfolgt, indem JDBC-Spezifikationen auf die C++ Welt angepasst werden. JDBC ist der Java-Standard für den Zugriff auf Datenbanken und wurde im Zuge der zahlreichen Java-Releases beständig verbessert. Die JDBC-Schnittstelle ist wohl durchdacht. In diesem Webseminar erfahren Sie:

• Die Gründe für die Entwicklung des Connector/C++
• Was im Connector/C++ enthalten ist
• Wie die weitere Planung für den Connector/C++ aussieht
• Wie sie diesen Treiber zur einfacheren Entwicklung von C++ Anwendungen nutzen können

Kickfire & Sun: Bring Data Warehousing to the Mass Market

Thursday, July 16, 2009

There is a growing information divide. On one side are large businesses that can afford to spend hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars on data warehousing and business intelligence solutions. On the other are very small businesses who don't have demanding performance or scalability requirements. In the middle of this information continuum is a growing mass of companies whose needs are not being served today. They have the performance and scalability requirements of larger organizations but have the limited resource and expertise constraints of the very small businesses.

This webinar will explore a technological breakthrough that has fundamentally changed the economics of data warehousing and is bridging this information divide for the first time. During this webinar, Kickfire will also unveil its new self-service, on-demand trial system.

Specifically, this webinar will cover:

• The needs of the data warehousing mass market
• Why existing solutions can't fulfill these needs
• The history behind the world's first parallel-processing chip
• How this chip has delivered the world's #1 price/performance
• How the Kickfire appliance, powered by this chip, meets the needs of the mass market
• A demo of the Kickfire self-service, on-demand trial system

For ISVs: Using Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework with MySQL

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

The Entity Framework is a new technology that was developed by Microsoft and delivered as part of .NET 3.5 SP1. This framework abstracts the relational schema of the database and presents it as a conceptual schema. This is particularly beneficial for ISVs because by working with a conceptual schema, the commercial application developer avoids having to write complicated joins to connect all the related items of data, greatly reducing development time, resources and therefore, COGS. ISV developers can access their data using ORM-like classes, LinQ syntax, or with a new SQL syntax named EntitySQL, all of which further reduce COGS.

In this new web seminar you'll learn about the new Entity Framework and how you can access these and other benefits with MySQL:

• Develop your application against SQL Server and then switch it to MySQL with zero code changes
• Optimize your database schema without requiring any code changes in your application
• Use LinQ syntax for type safety in your applications
