Data Abstract 8 released

RemObjects Data Abstract is an RAD tool for writing multi-tier solutions. It allows you to create services that access any database, by providing a clear separation between data-access and business-logic. Data Abstract enables your applications to interface with different database systems, even simultaneously, instead of depending on any single one. RemObjects Data Abstract supports a wide range of database back-ends, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, Interbase/Firebird, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite and many more.

The following Editions are available:

• Data Abstract for All Platforms
• Data Abstract for .NET
• Data Abstract for Cocoa
• Data Abstract for Delphi
• Data Abstract for Java
• Data Abstract for JavaScript - New

Updates in 8

• Relativity in the Cloud - Relativity Server now knows about the services provided by AWS that it needs to interact with, all without you writing manual code or setup scripts. Get an infinitely scalable middle tier up and running, with just a few clicks and without a single line of code.
• Strongly Typed DataTables in Cocoa - With just a couple clicks in Schema Modeler for Mac or in the Visual Studio IDE, you have protocol/interface stubs for your tables in the language of your choice, be it Objective-C, Oxygene, RemObjects C# or Swift, that let you work with your data much more naturally. row[@“CustomerName”] simply becomes row.customerName.
• Relativity Web Admin - To make administration of Relativity Server even easier, RemObjects have added a brand new Web Admin interface that lets you administer your servers right from your browser, without the need for the Admin Tool or Server Explorer for Mac.
• All New "PCTrade 2.0" Suite of Sample Apps - Data Abstract 8 includes a brand-new sample database and brand-new suite sample applications that go with it. PCTrade version 2 has been redesigned from the ground up to make it easier to get you started with Data Abstract and try out its features.
• PCL Support for .NET - Data Abstract 8 comes with full support for building Portable Class Libraries (PCLs) that allow you to build one set of code, in one assembly, and reuse that on all versions of the .NET runtime, from the desktop to Silverlight, Windows Phone and WinRT to cross-platform Xamarin apps.
• Cleanup and Freshen-up - The new editions are leaner, meaner, and ready to move forward for the next ten years of innovation RemObjects have planned.
