Geoff Harris of Nexus Database Systems presents the latest versions of their highly acclaimed memory manager and DBMS.
NexusDB is a high speed BDE replacement DBMS engine for Delphi and C Builder. Version 1 has proven to be a successful heir to the popular FlashFiler engine from the now defunct TurboPower Software company. A significant part of the success and speed of NexusDB can be attributed to its well known memory manager. In this talk we explore both the Nexus Memory Manager and Version 2 of NexusDB. We look at examples showing the speed and lean use of memory of the Memory Manager, then look in depth at Version 2 of the RDBMS, NexusDB. The various new features of NexusDB are explained, with examples, as well as a look into how to utilize its potential to the fullest. The integration of NexusDB into the VS IDE is also presented with examples.
In the afternoon, Marco Cantů will give a talk covering Optimizations in base Delphi data structures, like strings, string lists, containers, streams. This is the talk Marco has given at Borcon US this year.
