Full-featured, high-performance database power at the desktop, on the road or in your workgroup is delivered in the Pervasive.SQL V8 Workgroup edition. Designed with the goal of delivering client/server multi-user performance, dependability, reliability and data integrity to
environments with no network server, or where practical reasons dictate an alternate to sever-based database engines, the Workgroup edition rises to the challenge. Scalable to meet the size and configuration of your workgroup, Pervasive.SQL V8 adapts to your environment giving you database access to your files no matter where they reside on your peer-to-peer network, either locally or on remote workstations and file servers. Based on the architecture of our server engine, the Workgroup engine delivers features such as centralized multi-user concurrency and locking management to data access wherever the database resides in your configuration. This is accomplished through a file management scheme that controls and directs all database access through a single point, much like traditional client/server technology. By providing you with all the features and benefits of the Pervasive® high-performance, low-maintenance client/server database technology, the Workgroup engine means that you do not have to compromise on quality or performance when looking for a solution to support your application. Fully integrated with the entire Pervasive.SQL V8 product family, Pervasive.SQL V8 Workgroup lets you scale and grow your application deployments from the workgroup through to client/server without application modifications or data file manipulation. This scalability translates into lower costs and time savings by allowing the same application to run in several environments instead of requiring two or more different versions of the application or the database. Of course,
the Workgroup engine still provides full compatibility with all existing Btrieve-based applications on supported platforms. So you can take
advantage of the increased speed and features that Pervasive.SQL V8 offers, without changing your application.
