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

Database Interface costs $395.00 USD and can be bought online by clicking

| 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. |
