Announcement: Migrate Btrieve applications to MS SQL Server without source change
Riaz Merchant
release of its high-performance ISAM to SQL Database Connectivity (ISDBC)
drivers and migration tools for Btrieve®/Pervasive® -based applications.
Mertech's solution allows Btrieve®/Pervasive®-based applications to work
with industry leading Oracle® and MS SQL Server® relational engine without
requiring source level changes. Mertech is the first company to develop
high-performance ISDBC drivers, a new category of open database drivers that
allow applications written for record-oriented, or transaction databases, to
work with industry leading relational databases without expensive code
rewrites.
Mertech's ISDBC drivers for the Btrieve®/Pervasive® market follow the
success of Mertech's product offerings for the DataFlex® market, which have
been widely accepted by DataFlex developers and users as the easiest and
fastest way of migrating their applications to Oracle and MS SQL Server.
"There are a large number of applications which have been written for
transactional or record -oriented database engines like
Btrieve®/Pervasive®," says Riaz Merchant, President of Mertech Data Systems.
"Making them work with relational databases requires significant investment
in code re-write. Mertech's solutions give application developers and
corporate users the flexibility to run their Btrieve®/Pervasive®-based
applications with industry leading Oracle® and MS SQL Servertm relational
engines without investment in re-engineering or rewriting their source base.
This approach provides a cost-effective way of upgrading to the latest
database technology without losing investment in existing applications."
Mertech's solutions benefit both developers and corporate end-users of
Btrieve®/Pervasive® engines. Developers of packaged client/server solutions
are able to expand their market by taking advantage of the large install
base of Oracle® and MS SQL Server databases. Corporate end-users benefit by
being able to consolidate their corporate databases into a single robust,
secure and scalable relational engine without substantial investment in
rewriting code and going through a full development life-cycle of a new
product and training users on a new application
