1182 Managed Code Database Advantage for the Microsoft .NET Framework Platform
Steve Shaughnessy — Borland
   
Type: Regular Session.
Level: All.
The Borland DataStore for the Microsoft .NET Framework database is written entirely in managed code. DataStore for .NET is highly scalable and capable of outperforming many database products not written in managed code. DataStore for .NET provides database mirroring capabilities that provide first class database fault tolerance and increased scalability. Because DataStore for .NET is written entirely in managed code, applications that are also written in managed code languages such as Delphi, C#, VB.NET, and others can safely execute in the same process as the kernel itself. Native (unmanaged) code cannot be trusted to execute in the same process as a database kernel. Much higher performance and reliability can be achieved for managed code applications that embed DataStore for .NET into the same process. DataStore for .NET also provides the same performance and reliability benefits for stored procedures and UDFs written in a popular managed code languages instead of a proprietary SQL-based stored procedure language.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of Delphi or C# programming and ADO.NET.

The goal of the Agile Data (AD) methodology (www.agiledata.org) is to define strategies that IT professionals can apply in a wide variety of situations to work together effectively on the data aspects of software systems. Agile software development is real and it's here to stay. If data professionals are to remain relevant they must adopt techniques that reflect the realities of modern development, and that includes working in an agile and evolutionary manner. This presentation explores techniques for evolutionary database development, including: Database refactoring; Agile-Modeling Driven Development (AMDD); Test-Driven Development (TDD); Mapping objects to relational databases; Database encapsulation strategies; Alternatives to relational databases; Techniques for working with legacy data; Concurrency control; Effective referential integrity; Real-world XML; and Tools for Agile DBAs.
