Access and Control

Database (DB): Multi-database support for object-oriented multimedia, allowing the application code to be decoupled from the application data and interaction with a wide variety of existing database systems. AM2 DBclasses support the following database packages:
  • UNIX Oracle, OS2, PostGress, UniSQL and MSQL which is freeware and makes it possible to incorporate small databases without UniSQL.
  • NT Oracle, Dbase, FoxPro, MS Access and any other relational database with ODBC support. ODBC drivers are required for running AM2 on NT.
Input/Output (IO): File access, network access (ftp and http), etc.
External Processes (XT): Spawns processes outside of AM2, including applications which can be sent input and output. (Similar to UNIX "system" routine.)
Data Structures (DS): Generic optimized data structures.
