15 February 2010 — FairCom Corporation, developer of the c-treeACE high performance database engine, announced today the release of c-treeACE V9.1. This release ushers in the latest generation of FairCom’s proven technology.

FairCom introduced significant enhancements to the SQL query optimizer with this release. Francesco Cortinovis, Managing Director of FairCom Europe, says, “Customers performing complicated SQL queries are likely to see an immediate impact with this release. By profiling the optimizer and looking at specific queries that weren‘t performing well, we were able to make changes that resulted in benefits to query performance across the board.”

Because cross-platform support is a hallmark of c-treeACE, this latest release also includes support for several new platforms and environments. This includes support for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), AIX 6, Windows 7, RAD Studio 2009, Sun Studio 12, and SQL support for QNX. For developers working in Visual Studio, this release also includes complete Entity Framework integration.

Part of this release includes enhancements to FairCom's suite of GUI tools. Users now have the ability to view their data using Dr. Ctree, the ISAM Explorer and SQL Explorer. Exporting file definitions has been expanded and is available in all of these tools. SQL schemas, file definitions, and complete header files for applications are now easily generated with a click of the mouse. Cortinovis notes, “For customers migrating from our ISAM technology to our SQL technology, this really simplifies the steps involved.”

Contact FairCom for pricing details for new purchases and upgrades.
