Product Summary

The Titan Database Interface™ is a software developer's tool that provides highly-optimized database access components for the Borland Delphi™ and C++ Builder™ development environments.


Today the Titan product provides components to access Btrieve® and Pervasive.SQL® databases from Pervasive Software, Inc., and Titan provides a set of components which can access Microsoft Access® databases.

Database interfacing using Titan:

for Pervasive.SQL® from Pervasive Software, Inc.:

Provides tbTable, tbQuery, tbDatabase, tbSession components to use in your application.

Requires Pervasive.SQL® 7.0, or the Btrieve® or Scalable SQL products. Requires Data Definition Files (DDF's) at design time so that Titan can understand your record layouts. DDF's are required at run-time when using the Query components, or when not
using the Titan Compiled DDF feature. Supports all Btrieve® and Smithware Extended data types
Whether using the standard Btrieve data types, or the extended ones provided by Smithware's
DDF Builder, you are covered with Titan.

for Microsoft Access®:

Provides taTable, taQuery, taDatabase, taSession components to use in your application.

Requires the Access Jet Engine (DAO). In order to use Titan, you'll need to have the Microsoft Access Jet Database Engine found in Access 95 or later. When you ship your application, you'll need to make sure the machine you are installing onto has the DAO, which you can license from Microsoft if you need to. Does not support use in multi-threaded applications. Just like the BDE Access driver, Titan Access does not allow you to call the Access engine from a thread. This is a limitation built into Access itself, not Titan. You can work around this limitation by having your threads call a function in your main thread.

for Sybase SQLAnywhere®:

Provides tsTable, tsQuery, tsDatabase, tsSession components to use in your application.

Requires the Sybase Adaptive SQLAnywhere Database Engine. In order to use Titan, you'll need to have
the Sybase Adaptive SQLAnywhere Engine 5.0 or 6.0. Sybase has a free trial version download of this engine available on their web site at ‘www.sybase.com’, or you can order one from Sybase for a minimal fee. The Sybase phone number is 800-8-SYBASE.


 

Titan is not a
database engine,
rather it is
more like a
transmission
in a car
which delivers
power
to the wheels
in the most
efficient manner

Key Features
Titan works with the data-aware controls found in Delphi™ and C++ Builder™
Titan provides the developer with the ability to use almost all of the data-aware components and tools available today. Titan allows the developer to use charting packages, report writers, or any other data-aware component easily. We directly support Infopower, Orpheus, and Tee Chart components, as well as the thousands of others available.

Titan allows you to see your data live at design-time, just like the Borland Database Engine (BDE) does

Titan is a drop-in replacement for the BDE, and as such it provides all the amazing capabilities the BDE does. These features include record filtering, cached updates, and record search and locate services. Titan shows data live at design-time, allowing the developer to see what their application will look like before compiling a single line of code.

Titan makes native engine calls to the underlying database API to provide the fastest performance

Since Titan bypasses the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and the ODBC drivers, Titan can provide lightning fast access to databases, providing performance that only hand-coded applications might deliver. Another benefit of Titan is that you can eliminate distributing the BDE with your applications. This makes life simpler, and reduces support.

No Titan Runtime License Fees

There are no runtime license fees with Titan. All we ask is that you have one Titan license for each developer you have, we don't care how many products you build with it. This no nonsense approach keeps your investment low, and lets you distribute your applications without worrying about license fees to us.

Source Code Version now included!

We're so confident in Titan that we include source code. See for yourself how Titan works its magic. We have no ugly code to hide! Titan is built on a solid object oriented architecture that is easy to understand. This is a great deal as there is over 7 man years of
development in the code.

The Titan Database Interface allows multiple engines to operate at the same time

Since Titan is built on a rich set of common objects, you can run applications with multiple Titan interfaces at the same time. Your code is smaller and faster, and you can even run the BDE at the same time too. Titan never limits your options.
