3. Pervasive.SQL 2000

4. Pervasive.SQL 2000 SP2 - Common Address Space (CAS) -both the transactional and relational engines are loaded and operate in the same process address space, thus, reducing the CPU time required to communicate between them - Auto-Increment -The SQL Relational Database Engine now creates an index for an Identity (auto-increment) column. It will also default the value for the column to the value 0. The net result is that the value will increment to the next in the series for the column. - New Communications Server -new features such as NetBIOS support and TCP/IP Multihomed support -Multihomed support for TCP/IP allows you to communicate directly to more than one Network Interface Card without the use of IP Forwarding Pervasive.SQL 2000 – Service Pack 2

5. - Asynchronous I/O -The server MicroKernel for Windows NT now uses asynchronous I/O when writing pages to disk -The MicroKernel quickly writes pages to Windows NT system cache and Windows NT signals when the pages are on disk -Read performance is also enhanced when there are many concurrent operations being done in the MicroKernel at the same time, especially if you access your dataset on a striped set of disk drives. Each read causes a worker thread to wait until the page is available. With asynchronous I/O, Windows NT can pool the work of multiple readers to make the "reads" more efficient - New Grant Statement for Secured Databases -This will enable users, including the Master User, to access tables that have owner names associated with them Pervasive.SQL 2000 – Service Pack 2 continued

6. - Modifying Legacy Data - This means you can Insert/Update NULL into any legacy column type without pseudo-Null conversion speed improvements across all access methods - DSNless connection - Updated Pervasive Control Center - First SP for Linux/Solaris platforms - Many bug fixes Pervasive.SQL 2000 – Service Pack 2 continued

7. Pervasive.SQL 2000 SP2 - Asynchronous I/O speed improvements across all access methods - DSNless connection - Updated Pervasive Control Center - First SP for Linux/Solaris platforms - Many bug fixes Pervasive.SQL 2000 – Service Pack 2 continued

8. Replication

9. Pervasive.SQL 2000 - Replication Heterogeneous enterprise operation: fully bidirectional, 100% fidelity all data types, including BLOBs Database support “matrix”: Oracle (7.x and 8.x) Microsoft SQL Server (6.5 and 7) Sybase SQL Server / ASE Sybase SQL Anywhere / ASA Informix Dynamic Server InterBase Microsoft Access Corel Paradox Key Features

10. Pervasive.SQL 2000 - Replication Scalable, Reliable: all Pervasive.SQL 2000 platforms, server to palmtop up to thousands of databases, various sizes, full local autonomy volumes: trickle to 10GB+/day any TCP/IP network: LAN, WAN, Internet, wireless efficient net-change, compressed, strongly encrypted Manageable: central and remote management from any location automatic, scheduled operation Automatic conflict resolution default: timestamps, most recent update wins fully customizable, as part of event callback API Key Features

11. Pervasive.SQL 2000 - Replication every database a peer: update-anywhere based on user-defined rules every database autonomous, all transactions local; no point of failure automatic, transparent: just add a database wherever needed

12. Pervasive.SQL 2000 - Replication Hub and spoke

13. Pervasive.SQL 2000 - Replication N-Tier

14. Pervasive.SQL 2000 - Replication Peer-to-Peer

15. Roadmap

16. Pervasive.SQL 2000 SP3 - Improved Stability - OLEDB 2.0 compliance -ICommand and IRowset - JDBC 2.0 compliance - Auto Reconnect through System Sockets - Everything that Pervasive.SQL 7 DOES and more Pervasive.SQL 2000 – Service Pack 3

17. Re-Organization Getting Back to Core Product Taking Care of OEMs and VARs Pervasive Future

18. Training for YOU and YOUR company

19. Training Courses Services and Support Training (Beginning and Intermediate) Pervasive.SQL Architecture Access Methods Utilities Installation Optimizing Configuration Creating DDFs

20. Training Courses - continued Pervasive.SQL Programming (Introduction) Overview of Pervasive.SQL Architecture Differences between Workstation, Workgroup, and Server Capabilities of the Btrieve API Relational access through SQL Relational Database Engine (SRDE) and ODBC Discussion of using ActiveX and PDAC

21. Training Courses - continued Pervasive.SQL Relational Programming (Intermediate) Database design for power and performance Structured Query Language (SQL) in your application Access Methods Enforcing Data Referential Integrity Data retrieval and data manipulation Writing Open Database Connectivity Applications

22. Training Courses - continued Pervasive.SQL Btrieve Programming (Intermediate) Embedding data access using the Transactional API Access Methods How to develop a multi user application Data retrieval and data manipulation Identify the need to use the extended operators of the MKDE

23. WHY DO I NEED TRAINING Pervasive Training makes a smarter you!! If you KNOW the product your selling it’s more credible to your customer and easier to SELL!!! Fascinate your friends and co-workers with your knowledge It will impress your clients more if you can speak intelligently about the product instead of just saying “It’s COOL!!”
