Why is D3 Such a Powerful Solution?

D is a powerful solution because it is a full featured, high-performing Database Management System and it is:

  • Web-enabled: The D3 database management system can read and write to web pages in real time.
  • Secure: Multilevel security supports user and account passwords and file access restrictions.
  • Easy to learn: Because the D3 system was designed to be used by non-technical personnel, D3 includes a powerful English-like query language called AQL for creating reports.
  • Scalable: The D3 database management system works comfortably with one to thousands of users.
  • Multidimensional: Transcending the limitations of the two-dimensional relational database of the 1990s, TigerLogic offers a Pick database model that accommodates "real-world" data. These multivalues and subvalues permit stacking of data or data record keys within a field.
  • Limitless: Files may consist of an unlimited number of records. Records may have up to 2 billion fields. Fields may be up to 2GB (numeric or string). A process may open up to 32,000 files.
  • Open and mobile: The Pick data model allows agencies from disparate locations to simultaneously access the database securely from remote locations all around the world.
  • Tried and tested in over 2,000 real-world applications.
  • Microsoft compatible: Word, Excel, SQL Server read and write D3 with Microsoft ODBC - Microsoft C++ programs can use D3 to read and write the D3 database - Microsoft Visual Basic.
  • Hardware independent: Runs on most major systems like NT, UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux, etc.
  • Dynamic: Fields require no length restrictions or data type. Adding additional fields to a file does not require reformatting.
  • Importable/Exportable: Import/Export features facilitate movement of data between environments. Files can be maintained where most often used, and transferred to the other environment when needed.
  • Efficient: It fits in 4 megabytes, runs multiple users in 64 megabytes.
