Objectivity, Inc. Features Python Binding in Free Trial Download

In response to requests from application developers to provide more support for the Python programming language, Objectivity engineers have added a Python binding to Objectivity’s free 60-day trial download.

Objectivity/Python is an Application Programming Interface (API) for writing Python scripts and applications that store and manipulate persistent objects. The Objectivity/Python binding can be used to create new applications or link existing programs; it is especially useful to application developers who need to build custom database administration scripts or develop test frameworks for quality assurance.

Python has gained popularity among application developers as a language that provides strong query and script access to data-driven systems. Python and other object-oriented languages are a natural fit for many of Objectivity’s customers.

“Objectivity/Python is a versatile product,” said Lenny Hoffman, Objectivity’s director of technical consulting and product requirements. “It can be used for pure application development, or customers can use the binding to take advantage of Objectivity's language interoperability. Even if you have Objectivity applications written in strongly typed languages such as in C++ or Java, you can leverage Python's interactivity and productivity to create development aids and application-specific administration scripts so you can explore and update your Objectivity database dynamically.”

Objectivity/Python is fully interoperable with the other languages supported by Objectivity/DB, such as .Net for C#, C++, Java, Smalltalk, SQL++ and XML (both import and export).

Developers can evaluate the Objectivity/Python binding by registering for Objectivity’s free 60-day trial evaluation.

How to Use Regular Expression Classes in the .Net Framework

Many beginning programmers spend much time coding search and replace logic while the .NET framework offers a powerful class framework to use regular expressions that you can use to perform various tasks on text and binary data. This article introduces you to the regular expression classes in the .NET framework and how to use them to perform tasks easier in a systematic way.


Steps


  1. Decide the specific use of regular expressions you need. Regular expressions are normally used for one of the following:
    • Check if a string has a certain pattern within it
    • Validate a string against a pattern
    • Replace a specific pattern with another pattern
    • Split a string using a pattern delimiter
    • Find all occurrences of a certain pattern within a string
    • Extract pattern pieces/groups from a string (like in syntax checking/highlighting)

  2. Design and decide the regular expression you want to use. See a tutorial on regular expressions[1] or visit an online library of regular expressions[2]
  3. Decide the regular expressions matching options you want to use. The setting you need to decide are:
    • Case sensitivity of matching
    • Whether you want to ignore any white spaces within the regular expression while matching or not
    • Whether the matching is multi-line or not (this changes the meaning of ^ and $ to match to the beginning and end of lines and not only the beginning and end of the whole string)
    • The direction of the matching process (left-to-right or right-to-left)
    • Whether . will match any character including or not including new line
    • Whether to compile the regular expression to the assembly (slow start up, fast processing) or not (the contrary)
    • Whether to ignore culture variance/change or not
    • Whether to use ECMA Script compliant mode or not
    • Whether to capture every group (any sub-expression within parenthesis) or only groups that are named

  4. Create a RegexOptions object and add all options (by using bit-wise or "|") - This step is optional
  5. Choose the member method you want to use. This depends on your choice in step 1. You have the following choices:
    • IsMatch() - if you only need to check whether a match was found or not
    • Match() - if you want to get the first match found. Calling this method again will get the next match and so on.
    • Matches() - if you want to retrieve all matches of the pattern in one call
    • Split() - if you want to split the string at the matches of the pattern
    • Replace() - if you want to replace the matches of the pattern with another pattern or string

  6. Decide whether you want to use the static version of the method or the instance version. Static methods do not require the creation of a Regex object but they do not keep the status of matching between calls. According to your choice, follow the following steps:
    • For static versions of the methods:
      1. Declare an appropriate reference to hold the results of the operation if necessary. Here is a list of the methods and the type of results they return:
        • IsMatch() - bool
        • Match() - Match
        • Matches() - MatchCollection
        • Replace() - string
        • Split() - string[]

      2. Call the appropriate method from the Regex class passing it the regular expression, the string, the options, and the replacement pattern in case of Replace() and assign the result to the reference you declared in the previous step.

    • For instance versions of the methods:
      1. Create a Regex object passing the regular expression you created, and the matching options to the constructor.
      2. Declare an appropriate result reference to hold the results obtained (like step 1 in the static version of the method)
      3. Call the method you choose from the regex object passing it the string to be matched and assign the result to the reference created in the previous step.


  7. Use the results obtained at the end of step 6 in the rest of your code. Usual uses of results are listed below in the "Common Uses of Regex Methods Results" section

Common Uses of Regex Methods Results


  • IsMatch(): returns a boolean value that is usually used in:
    • A single conditional construct such as the "if .. else" code construct or the "?:" operator construct. This is usually when you want to check if a pattern generally exists in a string to decide whether to do some action or not (for example check if the text of a post contains some offensive word to decide whether to allow the post or ban it altogether)
    • A looping construct such as a while or do ... while loop. This usually is used with instance versions of the method Match to iterate through all matches as long as there are matches to iterate through. Sometimes, it is used with streamed string to check the matches of a pattern in a text while it arrives through the stream.
    • Validation of controls. Usually this is done by binding some property of the control to the result (for example, making a text-box disabled as long as the regex can not find a match in the string within the text box

  • Replace(): returns a string with the pattern replaced with the replacement pattern or string. The resulting string is usually used in place of the original string. Some examples of the use of Replace() are:
    • Replacing all offensive words in a post with special characters such as ! or #
    • Replacing all HTML markup with HTML code that will display the markup instead of executing it (for example, replacing < with <)
    • Encrypting strings (permutation encryption)
    • Replacing special characters with other escaped values (for example replacing \ with \\)

  • Split(): returns a string array with all tokens after splitting the original string at the patterns found. This is usually used in code parsing.
  • Match(): returns a Match object that has information on the match found by the last call of Match(). Match objects contain information on capture groups and captures within the single match. Example uses of the Match object result and the Match() method:
    • Syntax highlighting.
    • Storing the matches found in some data storage facility such as a database.
    • Performing more complex replacing on the string by calculating the replacement of each capture.
    • Detailed finding of matches within a long text.

  • Matches(): returns a MatchCollection object which is actually a collection of Match objects (you may think of it as a typed ArrayList of Match objects). This method is a call-once alternative to Match() so it has the same uses.

Tips


  • All matching options are turned off by default (that is, if you don't specify any of the options or use RegexOptions.None)
  • If you don't understand any of the regular expressions matching options, leave turned off.
  • You can use Regex.Escape() and Regex.Unescape() methods to escape/un-escape special regex characters within a regular expression
  • To get the regular expression that was passed to the constructor of a Regex object, use the ToString() method. The method is overridden in Regex so that it returns the regular expression.
  • Thoroughly examine your regular expression before using it in a production-environment application. Regular expressions can be very tricky. Look at the "Related websites and online tutorials" section for further reading on regular expressions.
  • Use look-ahead and look-behind expressions wisely. They are hard to write and cost a lot of processing.
  • If your regular expression is large, uses a lot of backtracking, very complex or is intended to process large amounts of data, consider using a compiled assembly version of the regular expression. You can create regular expressions compiled assembly by using the Regex.CompileToAssembly() method.

Warnings


  • Passing an invalid regular expression to the constructor of Regex or to one of the static methods in the Regex class will through an exception so use try ... catch blocks.
  • Extra large regular expressions might cause the executing PC to run out of memory, so avoid using them.

Things You'll Need


  • A .NET or mono compliant compiler and programming language.
  • A prior knowledge of regular expressions. See the "Related Websites and Online Tutorials" section for further information on regular expressions.
  • A regular expressions toolbox application like RegexBuddy will help you test your regular expressions. This is optional.
  • A .NET integrated development environment will help you write code easier. This is optional.

How to Create a Template in C++

In C++, templates enable you to generalize a class or function so that it doesn’t use a particular data type. You can use templates in C++ to create a function or class that can handle all kinds of data types.


Steps


Creating the Template

  1. Declare the template by typing text below. myType, TemplateName, variable1, and variable2 can be named anything you want. myType will represent a type that hasn't been identified, TemplateName will represent the name of your template, and variable1 and variable2 will represent the variables to be used in your function template. Note that you can have as much variables as you want.
    template <class myType>
    myType TemplateName(myType variable1, myType variable2)
    {

    };
  2. Begin programing your code within the brackets. It should involve the variables you defined (in the example above they would be variable1 and variable2). Here's a sample template:
    template <class T>
    T GetMax (T a, T b) {
    T result;
    result = (a>b)? a : b;
    return (result);
    }

Note that you have to use T whenever you make a variable.

Calling the Template

  1. Create some variables in the main body of your code.
  2. Type your template name and the type of the variable within angle brackets. In we were using integers with our example, we would type:
    int i=2, j=3, k;
    k=TemplateName<int>(i,j);

Tips


  • Most programmers will use a T to define the type.
  • In the example, you may have noticed you needed to use T (the type variable) to define a variable. This is because you don't know the type of data that will be put in, so it must be a variable.
  • When you use T as a parameter for the type, you don't have to include <type> after you call the function; the compiler can find out automatically what the type is.
  • Some good uses of templates include linked lists (a class with a pointer to another of itself), smart pointers (pointers managed by the class) and functions/container classes which manipulate types of different sizes.
  • Templates can take values as arguments as well as types. For example, you can something like this: template

How to Create Javascript Conditional Operators

Have you ever wanted to shorten a JavaScript "if" statement into one simple line? Read on and find out a neat way to shorten your short conditional statements (also called ternary statements).


Steps


  1. Declare your variables and whatnot: var numberOne = 1; var x;
  2. Use the question mark (?) and the colon (:) to create a conditional statement. After the question mark (?) you have two statements divided up by the colon (:). The first statement (before the colon) will be executed if the condition is true and the second (after the colon) if the condition is false.

    For example:
    numberOne == 1 ? x = true : x = false;
    This illustrates the short-hand way of creating the following "if" statement:
    if (numberOne == 1) {
    x = true;
    } else {
    x = false;
    }

  3. Execute anything else you need to do: document.write(x);

Warnings


  • If other people are going to be reading and having to comprehend your script, try to avoid use of the ternary operator because it's unnecessarily hard to read.
  • If you need to do more than one operation on either side of the colon then don't use the conditional operator.

How to Convert Exe File of C Program to Screensaver

Interested in writing a screensaver for the Windows OS? This tutorial explains the functions needed for a properly compiled Win32 screensaver. Using the following steps, converting an existing executable into a screensaver will be easy.

Steps

  1. Writing the main function:
    1. Create a function named "LRESULT WINAPI ScreenSaverProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)".
    2. Develop this function in the same manner as a typical WinMain. It should process any messages related to the creation of the main window. This function should also handle processing the timer callback.
    3. Finally, pass the hWnd provided by the system to the function you plan on using to initialize your window. In the case of the example, the function should replace the commented code as is shown in the example.

  2. Writing the configuration function:
    1. Create a function named "BOOL WINAPI ScreenSaverConfigureDialog(HWND hDlg, UINT message, PARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)". This function will process the configuration dialog of the screensaver.
    2. Handle all configuration messages as shown in the example.


LRESULT WINAPI ScreenSaverProc(HWND hWnd, 
     UINT message, 
     WPARAM wParam, 
     LPARAM lParam)
{
 switch(message)
 {
  // Set timer and any other initializations
  case WM_CREATE:
   /*
   The WIndow Initializer goes here
   */

   //Create timer with custom timeout value
   SetTimer(hWnd, TIMER, 10, NULL);
   return 0;


  case WM_DESTROY:
   KillTimer(hWnd, TIMER);

   /*
   Clean up graphics here
   */

   return 0;

  case WM_TIMER:
   /*
   The Timer Procedure Call goes here
   */

   return 0;
 }

 // Unprocessed messages are handled by the screen saver
 // library by calling the following:
 return DefScreenSaverProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}

BOOL WINAPI ScreenSaverConfigureDialog(HWND hDlg, 
     UINT message, 
     WPARAM wParam, 
     LPARAM lParam)
{
 // Dialog message handling
 switch (message)
 {
  case WM_COMMAND:
   switch (LOWORD(wParam))
   {
    case IDOK:
     EndDialog(hDlg, LOWORD(wParam) == IDOK);
     return true;

    case IDCANCEL:
     EndDialog(hDlg, LOWORD(wParam) == IDOK);
     return true;
   }
 }
 return false;
}

Tips

  • All code should be compiled with a Win32 compatible compiler.

Warnings

  • This wiki does not explain how to create a graphics engine.
  • Experience with graphics engines is required for more advanced screensavers.
  • Remember, a screensaver is a fully-fledged program, and can still contain bugs, exploits and viruses.

Things You'll Need

  • A Win32 C/C++ complier. Examples of this include: Microsoft Visual Studio, Borland Turbo C++ and MinGW(free).

How to Compare Two Strings in C Programming

This describes an easy way to compare two strings in C programming.

Steps

  1. include
  2. char *string1, *string2;
  3. int someSaneCharLimit = 512; /*insert your own sane char limit here*/
  4. [Populate your strings however you wish]
  5. int i = strncmp(string1, string2, someSaneCharLimit);
  6. If i > 0, string1 > string2; If i < 0, string2 > string1; If i == 0, string1 == string2

Tips

  • The someSaneCharLimit parameter tells strncmp the maximum number of characters to examine. Using strncmp instead of the original strcmp (as well as the other strn* routines vs. their str* counterparts) is one of the many ways that C programs can be made more stable and secure.
  • You may put this in an "if" statement.
  • For one string to be 'less than' another means it is lexicographically less than. In layman's terms it means it would come before the other 'word' in a dictionary.
  • With strncmp you only check the first someSaneCharLimit number of characters. If they are the same up to that point (no matter what comes after that) they will be equal i.e. strncmp("abcxyz", "abchij", 3) would return a 0 whereas strncmp("abcxyz", "abchij", 6) would return a number greater than 0.

Warnings

How to Change the Default Format Settings in Eclipse

Do you get tired on constantly having to re-format your programming code? With a single press of Control+Shift+F, Eclipse will format your entire document for you. Follow the below steps to change the way Eclipse will format your document to your personal preferences.

Steps


  1. To get started, you should already have the Eclipse program open. Click the Window option in the top tool bar and then click Preferences.
  2. On the left side of the box, expand the Java option, then expand Code Style and finally click Formatter.
  3. The active profile should be set to “Eclipse [built-in]” you cannot edit this setting, so we will make a new one by clicking the “New...” button underneath.
  4. In the “profile name” pick a name that is significant to you so that you will remember what it is. The “Initialize setting with the following profile” option should have “Eclipse [built-in]” selected. And the “Open the edit dialog now” should also be selected. Now click “OK” to create your new format settings.
  5. You are now presented with the “Profile ‘name you selected’” box. There will be 8 tabs, named as follows:
    • Indentation
    • Braces
    • White space
    • Blank lines
    • New lines
    • Control statements
    • Line wrapping
    • CommentsThere will be an “Apply” and “OK” button at the bottom. You should make sure that you hit the “Apply” button every time you make a change so that it will know it is definitely saved and applied to your format settings.

  6. Refer to the picture at the right to see the INDENTATION TAB. Indentation is very important because it makes a program more readable if done properly. In the General Settings area, you can change the size of the tab, which you can set depending on whether you want to save space or if you want to differentiate the different sections more easily. According to coding conventions, you should leave all the boxes in the Indent section checked (Empty lines box does not matter). Do not forget to click Apply.
  7. Click on the BRACES TAB, and refer to the picture to the right if necessary. The braces settings are fairly simple and are based on personal preference. Most people either use the “Same line” or “Next line” position. You should use the same position for every option. Do not forget to click Apply.
  8. Click the WHITE SPACE TAB. Use the picture to the right for reference. Once again, this tab is for personal preference and ease of reading. There are many options to expand, read through and then select or deselect according to your preference on where you want a space (means one click of the space bar) to be added or removed. Do not forget to look in the preview window to see the change and click Apply often, seeing as there are many options in this tab.
  9. Click the BLANK LINES TAB and use the picture as a reference. This tab allows you to specify the number of blanks lines before or after different declarations. The standard is usually either 0 or 1 depending on the option. If you use more than 1 blank line, it is just wasting space. Choose the options according to you preference. Do not forget to select Apply.
  10. Look at the picture to the right and then click on the NEW LINES TAB. This tab is purely for user preference, so choose options as you desire. Do not forget to click Apply.
  11. Once again, the CONTROL STATEMENTS TAB is for your personal preference. Refer to the picture to the right, while selecting the boxes. The document is easily read with or without the added space after a control statement. To limit the length of your document leave the boxes unchecked. Do not forget to click Apply.
  12. Click the LINE WRAPPING TAB and see the picture to the right. In the “Line width and indentation levels” section choose how many characters wide your document can be and how wide you want the indent to be for the wrapping of the line(s). Below, click each option and choose the “Line wrapping policy” and “Indentation policy” accordingly. You want your document to have the littlest amount of wrapping as possible, so that it is easy to read. Do not forget to select Apply often, since there are a lot of options.
  13. The COMMENTS TAB is the last tab to set and the picture to the right is for reference. The options that begin with “Enable...” should be selected. The other options can be selected for personal preference. I also recommend selecting all the options that will “Remove blank lines.” Do not forget to click Apply.
  14. As an example, to show you how the format will work, there is a sample program (click on the picture at the right) shown with the formatting distorted (i.e. wrong indentation, extra spaces, etc.).
  15. To format the currently selected document, click on Source in the top tool bar and then click Format or as a shortcut you can click “Control + Shift + F”.
  16. Again, click on the picture to the right. Here you can see that the indentation has been restored, excess space has been removed and brackets are placed as per my preference. You document will not, necessarily look like mine as it will be based on your personal coding style preference.

Tips


  • When you click or unclick a setting the preview screen to the right will show you the change it will make to the format setting.
  • You should not go any smaller than a tab size of 2.
  • Do not be afraid to make changes as you can always restore the default settings.

Warnings


  • If you do not select Apply before closing the profile box all changes will be lost.

How to Add JARs to Project Build Paths in Eclipse

When your Java project requires JAR libraries to function, you have to configure your project to include the libraries in its build path. Fortunately, Eclipse makes this process simple and easy to remember. The build used here is Eclipse Ganymede 3.4.0.

Steps


Adding Internal JARs


  1. Copy the JARs you'll be using to your project if you haven't done so already. Here's how it's conventionally done:
    1. Create a new folder named lib in your project folder. This stands for "libraries" and will contain all the JARs you'll be using for that project.
    2. Copy the JARs you need to lib.
    3. Refresh your project by right clicking the project name and selecting Refresh. The lib folder will now be visible in Eclipse with the JARs inside.

  2. Complete either of the following to finish configuring your build path.

Method 1
  1. Expand lib in Eclipse and select all the JARs you need.
  2. Right click the JARs and navigate to Build Path.
  3. Select Add to Build Path. The JARs will disappear from lib and reappear in Referenced Libraries.

Method 2
  1. Right click the project name and navigate to Build Path.
  2. Select Configure Build Path... and the project properties window will appear showing your build path configurations.
  3. Select the Libraries tab.
  4. Click Add JARs...
  5. Locate and select the JARs you want and click OK. The JARs will now appear in the list of libraries in the build path.
  6. Click OK to close the properties window. The JARs will now be in Referenced Libraries instead of lib.

Adding External JARs


Note: It is much better to reference jars that exist in your project or in other projects - this allows you to check in all of your dependencies to your version control system. (You are using version control, right?)
Use one of the following methods.

Method 1
This is the preferred method, as it allows different developers of a common project to locate their external jars in different places.
  1. Right click the project name and navigate to Build Path.
  2. Select Configure Build Path... and the project properties window will appear showing your build path configurations.
  3. Click Add Variable...
  4. Click Configure Variables...
  5. Click New...
  6. Type a name for the new variable. For example, if these are jars for Tomcat, perhaps call it TOMCAT_JARS
  7. Browse to the directory that contains the jar for the path. (You can also select a specific jar file for the variable, if you prefer.)
  8. Click Ok to define the variable
  9. Click Ok to close the preferences dialog
  10. Select the variable from the list
  11. Click Extend...
  12. Select the jar(s) that you want to add to the classpath
  13. Click Ok to close the extend dialog
  14. Click Ok to close the new classpath variable dialog
  15. Click Ok to close the build path setup dialog

If you share the project with someone else, they must also define the variable. They can define it under
Window->Preferences->Java->Build Path->Classpath Variables

Method 2
Note that if you use this method, the external jar will need to be in the same location on the hard drive for anyone who uses this project. This can make sharing a common project more difficult.
  1. Right click the project name and navigate to Build Path.
  2. Select Add External Archives...
  3. Locate and select the JARs you want and click Open. The JARs will now appear in Referenced Libraries.

Method 3
Note that if you use this method, the external jar will need to be in the same location on the hard drive for anyone who uses this project. This can make sharing a common project more difficult.
  1. Right click the project name and navigate to Build Path.
  2. Select Configure Build Path... and the project properties window will appear showing your build path configurations.
  3. Select the Libraries tab.
  4. Click Add External JARs...
  5. Locate and select the JARs you want and click Open. The JARs will now appear in the list of libraries in the build path.
  6. Click OK to close the properties window. The JARs will now be in Referenced Libraries.

Tips


  • Whenever you add new files or folders to your projects in Eclipse via anything but Eclipse, you must refresh the affected projects to let Eclipse know that the new files are there. Otherwise you may run into compiler or build path errors.
  • Though the internal JARs disappear from lib, they are still there in the file system. It is merely Eclipse's perspective telling you that those JARs have been added.

Pervasive Games: Theory and Design

Games are no longer confined to card tables and computer screens. Emmy award winning games like "The Fallen Alternate Reality Game" (based on the ABC show) or "The Lost Experience" (based on the CBS hit show)- are pervasive games in that they blur traditional boundaries of game play. This book gives game designers the tools they need to create cutting edge pervasive games.

Quickly emerging from the fast-paced growth of mobile communications and wireless technologies, pervasive games take gaming away from the computer screen and back to the three-dimensional world. Now games can be designed to be played in public spaces like shopping malls, conferences, museums and other non-traditional game venues. Game designers need to understand how to use the world as a gamespace-and both the challenges and advantages of doing so.

This book shows how to change the face of play-who plays, when and where they play and what that play means to all involved. The authors explore aspects of pervasive games that concern game designers: what makes these games compelling, what makes them possible today and how they are made. For game researchers, it provides a solid theoretical, philosophical and aesthetic understanding of the genre.

Pervasive Games covers everything from theory and design to history and marketing.

designers, so that they can learn how to engage players' real-time experiences beyond the mobile phone or computer screen.

-Thirteen case studies with illustrative and inspiring examples make the entire pervasive games design space tangible.

-Provides practical design tips, potential pitfalls, design problems from real games, and inspiration from some of the most interesting pervasive game designers in the world, including Matt Adams, Frank Lantz, and others.

Groovy SQL Switch Sets New Standard For Databases

Groovy Corporation, the provider of parallel SQL processing software for the live web, released new data today that confirms the Groovy SQL Switch's ability to significantly outperform relational databases. The performance metrics, based on the Dell DVD Store Database Test Suite, detail how the Groovy SQL Switch was 105 times faster and processed 37 times more orders per minute than the fastest relational database. The data revealed by Groovy Corporation today at the AlwaysOn Summit at Stanford 2009 indicates that a truly real-time, live data experience is available now without the cost and complexity associated with the standard approach of massively scaling data centers to generate a real-time experience.

"Mass-market relational databases were never designed for real-time. Many data-driven businesses developed solutions to work around this issue as the value of real-time became more obvious, but these fixes most often resulted only in a near real-time experience and a costly infrastructure," said Joe Ward, chief executive officer of Groovy Corporation. "The Groovy SQL Switch democratizes real-time data. By offering the scalability required to deliver the real-time experience on a small foot print and at an affordable rate, Groovy Corporation is extending the benefits of the live web to any enterprise that wants to make the leap to the next generation of online services."

The Dell DVD Store Database Test Suite is an open source benchmark designed and written by the Dell Enterprise team that simulates an online DVD retailer. It produces simulations of implementations running on Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL, incorporates driver programs and Web applications present in a common online retailer setting and produces results based on the orders per minute generated during the test cycle. Groovy leveraged the benchmark to examine the behavior of the Groovy SQL Switch under a heavy load, to compare the Groovy solution's performance against a well tuned version of MySQL, the relational database that previously reported the fastest Dell DVD Store Database Test Suite performance, and to determine the suitability of the Groovy SQL Switch as a real-time bolt-on to MySQL.

The results of Groovy's tests leveraging the Dell DVD Store Database Test Suite indicate that the Groovy SQL Switch significantly outperforms the fastest relational database. The Groovy SQL Switch generated a 2.33 millisecond response rate compared against the previous 244 millisecond record response time of the previously fastest performance recorded on the Dell DVD Store Database Test Suite. The Groovy solution also produced 168,845 orders per minute compared against the 4,614 orders per minute of the previously fastest database. Furthermore, the Groovy SQL Switch was capable of managing more connections while maintaining low CPU loads and actually had more performance available than the Dell DVD Store Database Test Suite drivers were capable of testing.

In the past, real-time applications were reserved for the most data hungry businesses such as financial services and massive-scale consumer Web applications. Due to the cost, real-time was a luxury. Today, less that 1% of IT applications are real-time. The advantage of the real-time architecture is that data is pushed to the user and does not require a refresh for an instant update, enabling a live Web experience that delivers benefits in business-to-business and business-to-consumer settings. By unlocking a true, real-time experience, the Groovy SQL Switch enables new capabilities such as faster transactions for online retailers, immediate news updates for media companies and up to the second sales or marketing data for businesses.

The performance results announced today are the first in a series of planned benchmark announcements that will highlight how the Groovy SQL Switch is faster than today's leading relational databases. Groovy Corporation is working in conjunction with its technology and investor partner Intel Corporation to generate a series of performance results that will highlight how the Groovy SQL Switch produces a true, real-time experience based on industry-recognized benchmarks and in customer scenarios. Through the partnership, the two companies seek to pioneer a substantial lead in high performance and scalable, live data management.
