ADO.NET Support Brings ITTIA DB SQL to Windows Mobile

ITTIA DB announces the release of ITTIA DB SQL, version 3.1. This new version includes support for ADO.NET, through a custom data provider that enables C# applications to efficiently and safely store data in a portable database file format. With this new version, software developers are able to build applications with ITTIA DB on Windows, Linux, custom operating systems or even with no operating system.

Bellevue, WA, April 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- ITTIA, a global supplier of embedded lightweight relational database software, announces the release of ITTIA DB SQL version 3.1 for developers of applications for embedded systems and devices. This new release provides powerful new capabilities, such as support for ADO.NET, new methods to filter and sort data, and advanced flexibility for embedded development.

ITTIA DB SQL now includes an ADO.NET Data Provider, which enables applications written in C# and Visual Basic .NET to efficiently and safely store data in a portable database file format. Ideal for embedded devices, database files can be opened directly from the application process, or by connecting to a server process on the device or over the network. Developers can use the familiar ADO.NET classes to fetch data and update the database through SQL queries, or access each table directly with high-performance table cursors.

With support for the .NET Compact Framework, the ADO.NET Data Provider for ITTIA DB SQL is also available on the Windows Mobile operating system. Database files can be shared between native and managed applications on a device, as well as applications on other operating systems, such as Windows XP, Windows 7, and Linux. Windows Mobile devices are already used in the financial, heath care, legal, and real estate industries to store information and deliver timely updates. Now software developers in these sectors will be able to expand their offerings with the added flexibility of ITTIA DB SQL.

ITTIA DB fully supports SQL queries for industry-standard general database access. However, many applications do not always need the full power of dynamic run-time SQL. High-performance table cursors give applications an edge for performance-critical operations, by giving the application direct access to each table and index. Table cursors can be easily filtered and sorted, with or without using an index, giving developers both flexibility and direct control over performance all at once.

"Over the years, ITTIA DB SQL has been well-received in the embedded community, as developers become aware of the benefits of a true relational database," said Sasan Montaseri, ITTIA President. "Whether you choose to develop your application with an off-the-shelf operating system, such as Windows Mobile, for which ADO.NET support is essential, an embedded Linux platform, or your own custom operating system, this new release of ITTIA DB SQL is well-suited for your data management needs. Embedded developers understand the importance of selecting a pure relational embedded database to easily inter-operate with other systems."

A free evaluation of ITTIA DB SQL is available at the ITTIA DB Evaluation Center. The evaluation kit contains a complete embedded database library, optional server, support for both on-disk and in-memory data management and SQL tools.
