FirstSQL/J 3.00 Public Beta
Press Release
FirstSQL/J 3.00 Public Beta
Wednesday, February 23, 2005, El Cerrito, CA --
FFE Software, Inc.
announced immediate availability of the first public beta for
FirstSQL/J Enterprise Edition, Version 3.00
and FirstSQL/J Professional Edition, Version 3.00.
The Enterprise and Professional Editions are full featured Object/Relational
Database Management Systems (ORDBMSs) written in 100% Java for
J2ME, J2SE, J2EE.
The 3.00 Beta for products can be obtained through our
Download Page.
The full release of Version 3.00 is projected for late March, 2005.
Version 3.00 includes the following new features:
- Database Triggers -- a trigger is a user-defined Java method
attached to a database table. An insert, update or delete operation on the
table fires the trigger method.
Trigger methods can validate the change, make corrections and other changes,
log the change
and can cancel the modification.
A trigger can fire before or after the change to the table.
- Sequence Keys -- a sequence key is a special primary key
maintained by the ORDBMS. When inserting a new row into a table with a
sequence key, the system automatically assigns a unique value for the key.
Sequence keys are also known as auto-increment or identity keys.
- Constraint Enhancements --
- CHECK Constraint: a predicate evaluated for each insert/update to validate
the change (similar to a trigger but declarative in nature.)
- Names for Constraints: used to identify the constraint in exception
messages and for drop constraint.
- Adding and Dropping Constraints for an Existing Table -- an extension
to ALTER TABLE.
- ODBC Driver for Enterprise Server -- this is an ODBC 3 driver for
the server only. The ODBC driver is available separately from the company.
- Additional Features, Cleanups and Bug Fixes -- these are listed
in the readme.txt file installed in the doc folder.
