S2 Systems Uses CocoBase® Enterprise O/R to Drive OpeN/2® Support for Any Leading Relational Database

 
 

 

 
 


San Francisco, CA. - April 20, 2004

THOUGHT Inc.®, The Dynamic O/R Mapping™ Company, announces the successful use of CocoBase® Enterprise O/R, the market leader and award winning Dynamic Object to Relational Mapping™ tool, by S2 Systems, global provider of enterprise payment and transaction management solutions. The web interface for their OpeN/2® system utilizes CocoBase® to manage the flow of data to and from the database. CocoBase® easily allows OpeN/2 to work with many different databases while requiring no change to the application, a key advantage for any database-neutral product. The flexibility of CocoBase®, the low cost of the system and the short time frame required to complete the application were key factors in S2 Systems' successful use of CocoBase®.

"We found CocoBase® to be an excellent choice for managing the data in our OpeN/2 enterprise payment solution. CocoBase® made it easy to create database-independent advanced queries. This is a clear competitive edge as we can easily support any leading relational database. We are very happy with the tool and the support we received from Thought," said Russell Alexander, Senior Software Engineer, S2 Systems Inc.

CocoBase® Enterprise O/R is a vendor neutral Dynamic Object to Relational Mapping™ layer that sits on top of the JDBC driver between the application objects (often running in an application server) and the database (which is usually a relational database for most modern IT organizations). CocoBase® manages the persistence and retrieval of data from the application to where it is stored in the relational database.

CocoBase® takes the database specific code and prewritten SQL out of the object and saves this information to the mapping layer (i.e. map), thus decoupling the object from being hard coded to the database. The database specific code and SQL is dynamically created at runtime. This allows objects to be easily reused over and over. This dynamic layer provides a multitude of performance and scaling optimizations that are easily changed by the programmer to best fit their specific needs.
