BlackRose 2  

Enhanced version of BlackRose will be officially available from 1.1.2003. We plan to finish the testing to the end of the year 2002.

Features added or enhanced : 

• Transactions( rollback, commit etc ) 

• Referential integrity 

• Imbedded SQL  Only subset of SQL-92 standard will be supported, it means the most important features will be supported, and others will be added according to demand. Much of SQL functionality may be implemented using native calls of BlackRose.

• Better primary keys handling, for example multifield primary keys 

• Better sorting

Portability of BlackRose 2

BlackRose 2 components , it means BlackRose database server and husar II www server are portable to any IA platforms : WindowsNT4, Windows 2000, Linux RedHat 7.x, 8.x, 9.x and Solaris 8/9 x86. It is enough to copy BlackRose database server and its databases from WindowsNT4 to Solaris 9 etc and it runs out of the box .It is valid at least for jdk1.3.x and 1.4.x . It makes migration from one platform to another very easy.
