ASA New Features - XML

Customers can IMPORT and EXPORT XML data, allowing easier integration with other systems that use XML as a data transfer mechanism

XML Export: FOR XML AUTO, FOR XML RAW, FOR XML EXPLICIT, XML Import: OPEN XML( handling of XPATH queries ) SQLX functionality: xmlelement(), xmlforest(), xmlgen(), xmlconcat(), and

xmlagg()

ASA New Features – XML

Benefit to Customers OEM embedded partners can integrate with their customer’s existing system. Developers save time because they don’t have to implement all the XML

parsing and generation themselves

ASA New Features – Web Services

ASA now has an embedded HTTP server, allowing users to connect to the database server from a variety of clients, including web browsers

HTTP/HTTPS Server

Customers can implement web services directly inside the ASA server using standard stored procedures

XML, HTML,RAW support SOAP/WSDL support

ASA New Features – Web Services

Benefit to Customers Developers can easily create web services, with their existing database and

SQL skills, and do not need to be retrained, or to install new complex server software.

ASA can be integrated with open web service environments, such as .NET

Thirty Seconds to Create a Web Service

dbinit banff_test.db dbeng9 -xs http banff_test.db From dbisql:

CREATE SERVICE list_tables TYPE ‘html’ AUTHORIZATION OFF USER dba AS SELECT * FROM SYSTABLE

Access http://localhost/banff_test/list_tables from a web browser

ASA New Features – ADO.NET Driver

ASA now enables native connection from .NET languages Supports both .NET Framework and .NET Compact

Framework

Benefit to Customers Developers save time, and can access the full power of ASA, easily from

their .NET application

ASA - Enhanced Performance and Scalability

Index Consultant Recommends indexes to improve query performance Permits “what-if” analysis on existing query load Can be used to find indexes that are unnecessary

Enhanced Query Optimizer New cost-based optimization techniques Histogram and selectivity estimation improvements

Query Execution Engine Improvements Improved sequential and index scan performance Redesigned cache management system improves scalability for large multi-user

environments Implementation of different sub-query execution methods Improved hash join performance with better memory management Adaptive query optimization techniques

10

Benefits - Enhanced Performance and Scalability

Index Consultant Provides administrators and developers with an easy-to-use way of optimizing

performance by suggesting most appropriate indexes Users save time with faster running applications

Enhanced Query Optimizer and Query Execution Improved performance with larger databases and more complex queries and

applications Improved scalability for larger number of users and multi-processor

environments

Pre-beta Banff– April 16, 2003

ASA New Features – Enhanced Functionality

Support for Advanced SQL Functionality RECURSIVE UNION INTERSECT and EXCEPT SELECT over a stored procedure Support for outer references in derived tables ORDER BY, TOP N support in views and derived tables Better display output of string, date histograms

OLAP support VARIANCE, STD_DEV aggregate functions ORDER BY clause for LIST aggregate function GROUP BY ROLLUP Support for multiple DISTINCT aggregate functions in a single SELECT block


ALTER INDEX statement can rename an index, or alter its clustering attribute

Better scalability – new lock-free cache manager Support for clustered indexes (introduced in 8.0.2) Ability to create an index on a function

Automatically adds a computed column “column-name” to the table Creates an index on the computed column Relies on the optimizer to replace any function occurrences with the computed

column

Non-transactional temporary tables Unaffected by COMMIT or ROLLBACK; no entries made to rollback log


Procedure, trigger, and view text can be hidden from other users by using SET HIDDEN (8.0.2)

LOAD TABLE can be used on local temporary tables (8.0.2) UUIDs and GUIDs can be used as surrogate keys - see

newid() function (8.0.2) XML data type Event handling improvements:

Two new parameters for event_parameter:

APPINFO

DisconnectReason: ‘from client’, ‘drop connection’, ‘liveness’, ‘inactive’, ‘connect failed’


Benefit to Customers

Developers can do more with their data, enabling richer applications solving the needs of a wider variety of businesses.

ASA New Features – Improved Admin Tools

Faster startup time Interface redesign Stored Procedure debugger integration

Benefit to Customers Developer Productivity – Faster access to the information that is needed

ASA New Features – New Platform Support

Macintosh OS X Windows 64-bit Itanium Linux 64-bit Itanium HP-UX 64-bit Itanium

UltraLite New Features – Dynamic SQL

Queries & statements built at runtime instead of development time

Support for a subset of what ASA supports SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE CROSS and LEFT OUTER joins supported No sub queries or UNION

Prepare a statement, set parameters, execute GetPlan method available as development aid

UltraLite New Features – Dynamic SQL

Benefit to Customers Development more straightforward for SQL users No need for analysis step during development Data structures used to execute SQL statements can be built as required

• For an application with MANY SQL statements (>100), a dynamic SQL app may be smaller

UltraLite New Features – Component Additions

UltraLite.NET Very similar to Native UltraLite for Java Works with any .NET language (C# and VB.NET)

ActiveX The eVB component has been tested in PocketIE

Benefit to Customers Additional development options for developers

UltraLite New Features – Enhanced Functionality

New C++ interface to facilitate 3rd party tools integration

Multi-Process Database Access UltraLite runtime runs in its own process space (CE & Windows only) More than one client application can access an UltraLite database at a time

Benefit to Customers Developers have additional options, enabling the creation of more applications
