PALM-3000 Database Architecture Highlights

• Component-based architecture
• AODR Data recorder component.
• AODS Data server component.
• Simple function-call API for all database
  operations
• Simple key/value lookups.
• No query language to parse.
• No execution plan to produce.
• Not a relational database.
• Support for C, Java, and in Phase II, Perl and
  IDL.
• Enable flexibility and control.
• Embeddable, in-memory, not client-server
• Components may link directly into the
  application.
• Run in the same address space as the application.
• No inter-process communication required for
  database operations.
• Data stored in application-native format
• No translation or mapping required.

Nothing more than key/value lookups with cache
management plus transaction and locking support.
