ITTIA DB is a lightweight
embedded database for application
developers requiring high-performance relational data storage. Ideal
for dedicated embedded systems, intelligent devices and mobile
hand-held systems, ITTIA DB is a next-generation ACID-compliant
transactional library designed to be embedded directly into device
applications. Developers
enjoy ITTIA DB’s easy of use, portability
and reliability.
ITTIA DB Product Family
Each product in the ITTIA DB family is specifically developed for a certain class of
embedded systems and devices. ITTIA DB provides special-purpose systems and devices with complete built-in data management capability, and application developers are able to customize the database
to best fit their requirements. All editions of ITTIA DB employ a common API and file format so that applications are easily migrated when requirements change.
- ITTIA DB-SQL Plus – A multi-user,
multi-threaded, client/server database library, ITTIA DB-SQL Plus enables
applications to share database files
between threads, processes, and devices using ITTIA's lightweight data
server, designed to support a high level of concurrency even in
low-memory environments.
- ITTIA DB-SQL Standard – A standalone database library to
store
mission-critical data with minimum overhead, ITTIA DB-SQL Standard incorporates
high-performance data indexing with ACID-compliant crash recovery and
optional run-time SQL queries.
- ITTIA DB Compact – A table-based storage engine with
high-performance indexing, the ITTIA DB Compact database library offers systems
and
devices direct low level access to ITTIA DB files with minimum code
footprint.

Features and Benefits
- ACID transaction logging
- Automatic crash recovery using write-ahead logging (WAL). Supports high-performance commit modes such as group commit.
- Indexed search
- Fast, scalable B+tree indexes give applications fast access to data, whether its 100 records or 100 thousand.
- Run-time SQL query engine
- ITTIA DB implements ANSI SQL-89 and much of SQL 2003.
- ODBC
- ODBC is a standard interface for executing SQL queries from practically any programming language. ODBC also enables access to ITTIA DB database files by numerous ODBC-compliant applications. Current available through ITTIA's beta program.
- Portable C, C++, Java, C# APIs
-
All products in the ITTIA DB family utilize the same portable file format and programming interfaces.
- Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, vxWorks, etc.)
- ITTIA DB supports Linux, Windows CE, vxWorks, is easily ported to custom operating systems, and can even be used with no OS.
- No database administration
- The database is deployed with an application, so it is invisible to end-users.
- Small run-time footprint, high performance
- Bounded run-time memory, configurable at run-time, gives applications predictable resource utilization with minimum overhead.
- Excellent support for flash media
- Data is buffered in memory to automatically reduce flash wear.
- Multi-threaded and client/server shared access
- Row-level locking and isolation levels, features typically found in enterprise databases, enable high-performance concurrency without manual locking.
- Strong data type support
- Store numbers, text, dates, and times without risk of read errors.
- Internationalization support
- Support for UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 Unicode strings. Store text in the database in compact UTF-8 format with automatic conversion to UTF-16 wchar_t type in the API.
- Dynamic schema alteration
- Create tables and add columns at run-time - no need to recompile.
