Object Design Announces Availability of Industry's First Pure Java
Database For Windows CE
Company's ObjectStore PSE Pro for Java 2.0 Offers Windows CE developers Unprecedented
Productivity and Performance
BURLINGTON, Mass., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Object Design, Inc. (Nasdaq: ODIS - news), the market leader in
embedded Java database management systems, today announced that its ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java is the first 100%
Pure(TM) Java(TM) database management system (DBMS) available for Microsoft's(R) Windows(R) CE operating system.
ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java makes it extremely easy for developers to create embedded database applications for the
Windows CE operating system because they can do so using any of today's leading Java development tools. This enables
virtually any Java developer to create database applications for Windows CE extremely quickly, enabling them to deliver
applications to market far faster than they could using any other embedded database solution.
''PSE Pro for Java is perfectly suited to Windows CE because of its small footprint and superior performance over traditional
database solutions. It also reduces time to market and memory requirements because developers can store and access Java
objects in their native format,'' said Object Design(R) Founder and Principal Engineer Charles Lamb. ''PSE Pro for Java's
portability and compatibility with ObjectStore Enterprise Edition allow Object Design's customers to use Java to deploy
applications to the widest possible range of systems, from enterprise servers to handheld and embedded devices.''
''We're excited about the availability of ObjectStore PSE Pro for Java for Windows CE,'' said Jonathan Roberts, group
director of the consumer appliance group at Microsoft Corporation [Nasdaq:MSFT - news]. ''The combination of Windows
CE, Java and PSE Pro will allow Visual J++ developers and customers to leverage the unique performance and productivity
benefits found in the small-footprint PSE Pro database, enabling them to create a broad range of solutions, including mobile
computers, set-top boxes and industrial controllers.''
ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java is a full-featured, 100% Pure Java DBMS. It runs anywhere Java does, including on
Windows CE, and it deploys quickly and automatically with no administration required. ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java has
a 300-kilobyte footprint and its pure object architecture reduces database and application memory requirements by 25 percent
or more, when compared to relational databases. No other database uses less memory, which reduces the cost of producing
Windows CE-based devices such as personal digital assistants, set-top boxes, consumer devices, etc.
Object Design(R) plans to offer a Windows CE edition of ObjectStore PSE Pro to Visual C++ developers later this quarter.
Availability
A free 30 day trial version of ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro for Java 2.0 with Windows CE support is available now from the
Object Design(R) web site at www.objectdesign.com. ObjectStore(R) PSE Pro runs on any Java-supported platform including
Windows, Unix, OS/2, Macintosh and others.
