c-treeACE C Database API

The c-treeACE C Language DataBase Interface Technology, commonly referred to as FairCom's c-treeDB C API, provides a complete set of record orientated data base functions to manage data with the c-treeACE Database Engine.

The c-treeDB C API provides libraries that, once installed and correctly referenced, allow C programs to access the c-tree database core via function calls. The c-tree database API gives application developers a simple interface into the powerful core of c-tree, yet includes the advanced functionality that distinguishes c-tree from other database solutions. c-treeDB offers a method of database creation and maintenance that is easier to use than the traditional c-treeACE ISAM and c-treeLowLevel APIs.

c-treeDB utilizes the simplified concepts of sessions, databases, and tables in addition to the standard concepts of records, fields, indices, and segments. This database layer allows for effortless and productive management of database systems.

c-treeDB consists of two separate APIs. The C++ API provides the classes and methods that comprise the database functionality. The C API provides the function calls without object-oriented schema. Aside from the schematic differences, there are few distinctions between these c-treeDB C++ and C APIs.
