Inside c-treeACE: Core Engine Technology

At its heart, c-treeACE is a sophisticated, multithreaded advanced indexing engine composed of multiple subsystems:

• The Core Engine, which comprises three main services: the Thread Manager, the Disk I/O Manager and the Memory Manager, besides the data itself;
• The Transactional and Operational Management layers, which includes all low-level functions to control and maintain the transactions integrity, as well as providing the framework for the data access interfaces, such as SQL access;
• The Low Level API, which provides the interface for applications and programs to access the data structures, through a basic set of functions, such as insert, delete, etc.;
• The Communication Layer, which provides the high level integration interfaces for access of c-treeACE data through industry standard APIs, such as JDBC, ODBC, ADO .NET, etc.

Over the next several eNewsletters, we'll highlight each of these and how they bring advanced features and performance to your applications. In this issue we'll introduce the Core Engine and how it delivers the power and versatility to drive the multitude of c-treeACE features available.
