What is Actian Btrieve?

Btrieve12_Architecture

Transactional Data Access Using Btrieve:

  • Interacts directly with the data
  • Does not require fixed data schema
  • Uses key-value store to store and access the data
  • Calls MicroKernel Engine using the Btrieve API directly rather than using a query language – no parsing!
  • Low-level API calls and memory caching of data reduce the time required to manipulate data

Operational Benefits

Speed. Achieves sub-second response rates, even when building multi-gigabyte databases for hundreds of users
Data Integrity. Guarantees data integrity through rich transaction processing support, referential integrity controls, and automatic file recovery
Scalability. Many client/server database applications begin on the desktop and scale with corporate growth. Btrieve 12 provides easy scalability from workstation to large client/server environments
Low Cost. The low support costs experienced by Btrieve developers translate into low maintenance costs realized by Btrieve application end users

Developer Features

Speed. Achieves high speed response rates through features such as internal indexing algorithms that cache pages for fast data retrieval and updates, and automatic index balancing to maintain fast data access, even as your files grow
Data Integrity. In the event of a server or system failure, logging features and roll forward utilities allow you to recover data up to your last completed transaction
Low Cost. Btrieve 12 eliminates the need for sustained database administration through automatic data recovery functions and easy-to-use utilities
