Broad-based Access to Model 204

With the Model 204 database engine getting faster and more powerful with each release, the need and desire to access it from other platforms and environments grows stronger each day. To meet this growing demand, CCA introduced a new version of Connect* in 2002 that is not only multi-threaded, but also provides support for a native Java interface to Model 204 called JDBC for Model 204. With this new utility, you can connect just about ANY client platform to Model 204, as long as it is Java-enabled. This extends the world of Model 204 connectivity to include Unix™ and Linux™ platforms, Palm™ and cellular devices, and many others. So you can develop applications for the Web, for wireless access, or for countless other platforms and purposes, and leverage the information and access speeds provided by your Model 204 databases.

“Today’s IT environments are highly heterogeneous when it comes to operating environments”, remarks CCA’s Director of Connectivity, Steve Nelson. “Java has become widely accepted as the programming language of choice for many companies. So it was important to CCA that we provide a native Java interface to Model 204.”

JDBC for Model 204 allows any Java-based IDE or application – including Web servers, Web applications, GUI applications and Java development tools – to access Model 204 data using Java and the JDBC API. The client environment uses the Java XML Pack, which in turn uses JDBC for Model 204, to communicate directly with Model 204 data using either User Language or SQL. The result is a robust client/server application that is fast, object-oriented, and platform-independent.
