Ten Great Reasons To Upgrade or Invest in Pervasive PSQL Summit v10

Pervasive PSQL Summit v10 eases the transition to the next generations of Linux and Windows Server platforms.  With improved performance, expanded SQL syntax, an upgraded install and so much more, here are 10 reasons why you should upgrade to Pervasive PSQL Summit v10 today.

1. Compatibility - Run your Application on Vista now:

   • PSQL Server, PSQL Workgroup and PSQL Client supports Windows Vista
   • Windows Vista User Account Control requires no additional steps
   • 6.15, v7, 2000i, v8 and v9 applications can run on PSQL v10 and br Windows Vista-ready

2. 64-bit Support - PSQL on the latest hardware:

   • Platform support for all 64-bit editions of Windows
   • Use newer hardware - with more memory and address space, up to 4TB cache will become a significant advantage
   • Support for AMD and Intel 64-bit processors

3. Easier Extreme I/O - Accelerated Database Performance:

   • Accelerates the I/O of your database files.  Extreme I/O takes advantage of SMP (symmetric multi processing) for applications with large data sets, reducing the time required for reads and writes
   • For large data sets, high percentage of random writes, and data that can be significantly compressed
   • Minimize processor contention and maximize memory capacity

4. Upgraded Install - PSQL Summit v10 is so easy to install:

   • Macrovision designed specifically for PSQL Summit v10
   • Single click installation with the ability to install one component or customized groups of components
   • Developers can choose complete installs or custom installations for Client, Workgroup, or Server     

5. SQL Syntax Additions - Long Metadata and SQL Compatibility:

   • We've added long metadata support for up to 128 byte lengths for columns, names, views, stored procedures and more
   • Improves SQL Server compatibility
   • PSQL v10 includes a metadata conversion utility to make the transition simpler and faster
   • Reduced overhead and less custom code for multi-database platform suppport

6. Redesigned DDF Builder - Faster with Long Metadata Support:

   • DDF Builder now ships with PSQL v10, no separate installation required
   • Supportsd long metadata and allows creation of new DDF's
   • Creates robust SQL defenition files for business intelligence and data analysis

7. New Page and Record Compression - Improves Application Performance:

   • Reduce speed and I/O requirements and speed up your application.  Pervasive PSQL v10 compresses contiguous characters, shrinking I/O and increasing performance
   • By compressing data at the page level (instead of the file level), Pervasive PSQL v10 reduces application I/O.  Pages are decompressed and placed in cache for reads, and compressed for writes
   • Great for applications with frequent reads and few writes

8. Backward Compatibility - No Rewrites Required for Adoption:

• 10 years of backward compatibility
• Compatible file formats back to Btrieve 6.15
• Seamless migration from prior versions

9. Improved Security - Permissions on Views and Stored Procedures - Digitally Signed Executables:

• Greater control and security within your application from improved functionality for controlling permissions for views and stored procedures
• Digitally signed executables
• Protect files from unauthorized access and malicious use

10. Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework - Improves Performance and Feature Set:

• .NET and Visual Studio 2005 support
• Full support for scheme metadata
• ADO.NET 2.0 compliance
