Introduction
QNX is a leading high level operating system for real-time applications. It is widely used in the automotive business and is a key platform for that area. Mimer has previously ported Mimer SQL to the QNX operating system as a customer project but this port has now matured and is one of our official ports. Mimer SQL run on both Mimer SQL the ARM and x86 architecture on QNX 7.0, QNX 7.1 or QNX 8.0.
Description
Mimer SQL provides small footprint, scalable and robust relational database solutions that conform to international ISO SQL standards. It is very well suited for high performance mission critical systems as well as for mobile and embedded appliances. In addition, Mimer SQL is equipped with an extensive multilingual support using collations.
Mimer SQL have been tried on different QNX hardware such as NXP S32V board, Renesas H3 board, Raspberry Pi4 and x86_64 QEMU. As the QNX 8.0 license became available free for non-commercial use, Mimer SQL is easy to try on this platform.
A complete standard Mimer SQL distribution contains several components, as described below.
Default License
A default license for evaluation is included, which will get you up and running in a few minutes.
For license upgrades, please contact Mimer SQL sales.
Database Server
The Mimer SQL database server is a single, multi-threaded process with SMP scalability.
Clients using TCP/IP can access the server from other platforms, using tools such as DbVisualizer coming with the Mimer SQL for Linux.
Embedded SQL
An embedded SQL preprocessor is included. It enables SQL commands to be embedded in programs written in C and C++ . In line with the general ambition for Mimer SQL to follow the conventional standard SQL, the embedded syntax complies with the ISO standard for embedded SQL.
For COBOL and Fortran support on Linux, please contact the Mimer SQL representative.
Mimer SQL C API
Mimer SQL C API is a native C library suitable for tool integration and application development in environments where API standardization is not a requirement. The following characteristics describe the API:
- Simplicity
- Small footprint
- Tight fit with the Mimer SQL application/database communication model.
The so called “MimerAPI” is provided in the libmimerapi.so shared library and the mimerapi.h header file provides prototypes and other handy defines. See Database API article for MimerAPI and the Mimer SQL Programming Manual (found in the Mimer SQL Documentation Set at the Documentation page.)
Documentation
If not using the headless distribution packages, the Mimer SQL product for Linux includes the Mimer SQL manuals in Adobe PDF format.
Online documentation can be found at the Mimer SQL documentation page.
Release Notes are always provided within the distribution packages in PDF format.
