Announcing Improved SQL Interfaces

Microsoft SQL Server Driver Support

Starting with the November release of UniData on Windows, the Rocket U2 team will deliver and support the Microsoft SQL Server driver for External Database Access (EDA) on Windows platforms. The same driver is available now in the Early Adopter release of UniVerse 11.

To obtain the SQL Server driver for EDA, contact U2AskUs@rs.com. Please tell us what database you're using when you do so. External Database Access (EDA) is required in order to use the SQL Server Driver. EDA is available for Workgroup and Server edition and is included with Enterprise edition of the databases.

Common Mapping Tool and Schema Generator

In addition, we are in the early planning stages for an improved, common mapping tool and schema generator for fully describing the U2 data model in order to generate SQL and EDA schemas. This new tool will provide a modern, extensible interface for both initial mapping as well as updating of schemas. This tool, with its associated APIs, will improve deployment of ISV solutions to end customer sites thereby saving time and speeding time to market.

This tool will be available with UniVerse 11.1 and in a UniData 7.3 release to follow.
