Received in response to our ‘5 Reasons’ blog post, we decided to share this email because it includes more great reasons for choosing a MultiValue database!

REASONS FOR CHOOSING A MULTI-VALUE DATABASE

By: Sidney Abrahams                                                   

1. Many vendors, millions of users, global support
2. Optimized algorithms for operations
3. Automatic indexing
4. Archiving built in
5. Transaction Logging
6. Incremental saves
7. Three dimensional data structure
8. Reduced development design complexity
9. Variable length records
10. Can be Web enabled
11. Database structure legally licensed over 27 times
12. Memory resident binary code means maximum speed
13. Ease of use, English language query
14. SQL standard and better query capabilities, no joins needed
15. Multi-user, multi-tasking
16. Cross platform deployment without re-compilation
17. Supported versions for Windows, Linux, Unix, Apple
18. File read and update passwords separate and encrypted
19. Virus, malware immune
20. Data integrity checking across entire database with one command
21. Hot swap capable
22. Unlimited file sizes
23. Easy programming and script languages
24. Links to popular development environments
25. Dictionaries (advanced tables) programmable, different data views
26. Installation within less than 15 minutes
27. Programs written fifty years ago are still running
28. Deployed solutions on commercial sites exceeding 30 years
29. Highly secure (all MI6 and UK Police systems run on Reality)
30. Excellent TCO, safe investment in development costs
31. Development times average ¼ that of relational databases
32. Cost effective with reasonable support and upgrade costs
33. ERP applications available at a reasonable cost
34. Conversion codes for all output data formats w/o programming
35. Seamless upgrades (no re-compilation normally necessary).
36. Compiler can be tailored to a specific processor
37. Virtual machine architecture, totally memory resident
38. True virtual memory
39. Virgin database size under 30 Mb, scales into petabytes.
40. Only 2% of source binary code is hardware dependent, ease and speed of migration assured to new architectures as they are developed
41. Imperceptible load on modern servers (1000 users on 128MB Memory)
