TS Oracle DataServer provides the ability to read and write Oracle database tables directly from any Thoroughbred Dictionary-IV™ based application, either locally or across a network.
Integration of vertical applications written in a Thoroughbred Environment with a corporate database using Oracle is now possible.
The Oracle database has been a leading database choice for sophisticated corporate computer users. Thoroughbred Dictionary-IV based applications can communicate and integrate with the Oracle database by using Thoroughbred's TS Oracle DataServer. Dictionary-IV automatically establishes a link to Oracle table definitions. Once the link is established, TS Oracle DataServer enables the Thoroughbred-based application to run seamlessly using the Oracle database. Thoroughbred-based vertical market applications can now make the connection to corporate Oracle databases.
TS Oracle DataServer is for those application environments where connectivity to the Oracle database is a necessity. From Enterprise-wide corporate environments to single host-based local systems, Thoroughbred applications can now run in a shared database environment using the Oracle database as the primary data server.
The Oracle table structure is a defined file type in the Dictionary-IV Link definition. Dictionary-IVs three-tier design allows applications written in any Thoroughbred Environment using Dictionary-IV definitions to run seamlessly with the Oracle database.
TS Oracle DataServer supports the complete Oracle product line from the PC-based Workgroup Server to the sophisticated UNIX and VMS-based Oracle Enterprise system. Thoroughbred applications do not have to be specifically designed to run with Oracle. Any application based on Thoroughbred's Dictionary-IV can operate with an Oracle relational database server.
Existing Thoroughbred-based applications as well as Thoroughbred's Solution-IV Financial and Distribution application suite can run with Oracle. Existing applications using Dictionary-IV can be automatically recompiled, once the Link definition is set to the Oracle database type, and run with the Oracle RDBMS. Solution-IV can be setup to run with Oracle at installation. Existing Solution-IV installations can be easily redefined to run with Oracle at any time.
TS Oracle DataServer automatically sets up the Oracle table with the Dictionary-IV Link and Format information. There is also a utility to transport an Oracle table definition to Dictionary-IV and create a Link and Format definition.
TS Oracle DataServer supports both local and remote Oracle database servers. The configuration of the Oracle database is not limited. Thoroughbred has used the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) to communicate with Oracle and provide optimum performance and configuration flexibility.
Thoroughbred-based applications employing Dictionary-IV are Client-Server ready, and TS Oracle DataServer now brings the best of Thoroughbred and Oracle to your applications.
