Getting Started with Cloudscape
Welcome to Cloudscape! Cloudscape is a Java- and SQL-based object-relational database management system (ORDBMS). Cloudscape can be deployed in a number of different ways:
-
Embedded in a single-user Java application. Cloudscape can be practically invisible to the user, since it requires no administration and runs in the same Java virtual machine (JVM) as the application
-
Embedded in a multi-user application such as a Web server, an application server, or a shared development environment.
-
Embedded in a server framework, either one of your own choice or one available from Cloudscape: RmiJdbc or the full-featured Web and JDBC server, Cloudconnector
-
Deployed in a distributed system in which multiple, occasionally connected, applications have their own copies of the Cloudscape engine. Cloudscape can periodically connect to a central hub version of Cloudscape (called Cloudsync) to submit and receive updates.
This document helps you get started immediately after installation, describes Cloudscapes set of products and the deployments they support, helps you set the class path correctly, and points you to our examples and sample database. Using the examples and sample database will help you begin developing Cloudscape databases and applications.
