ILOG DB Link is a set of lightweight libraries that provide easy, fast and reliable
access to relational and object-relational data. Users can send and receive data directly to and from a database using only SQL. |
Easy to learn and apply, ILOG DB Link's portability across OS platforms and SQL independence makes it a "develop once, port everywhere" solution for all mainstream Object/Relational Data Base Management Systems (O/RDBMSs).
Portable database access and user code
ILOG DB Link includes native support for Informix, Ingres, Oracle, Sybase, and DB2 on Unix
and Windows platforms. It supports Microsoft SQL Server, Centura SQL Base, and ODBC on PCs. ILOG DB Link's application program interface (API) is platform and database independent, which guarantees that application code is fully portable among numerous variations of Unix and Windows.
Transparent to SQL statements and data
ILOG DB Link simplifies connection to O/RDBMSs by transparently handling SQL
statements, even if they include proprietary extensions. It automatically passes SQL
requests from C++ applications to O/RDBMSs, and supports transaction management,
data handling and access to data dictionaries.
ILOG DB Link can call stored procedures and apply multiple executions of
parameterized queries. It supports large object handling, enabling C3I, GIS and text
processing applications to use native data formats. Users can access internal
O/RDBMS client structures when applications require specific O/RDBMS extensions.
Support for multiple statement executions and connections
ILOG DB Link allows users to simultaneously:
- Execute multiple requests
- Have multiple connections to an O/RDBMS
- Have multiple connections to assorted O/RDBMSs on a network
Additional features
ILOG DB Link C++ libraries also handle:
- Session features such as cursors, management transactions and parameters
- Data manipulation features, including data retrieval through specialized access
functions and application variables
- Database storage representation, providing access to table and column
characteristics
- Error recovery mechanism that can be readily tailored to specific application needs
