new TUDBC for easy access to any ADO.NET drivers for Phalanger (also for Quercus, PHP, C#, F#, J#, Java, Ruby, JRuby, IronRuby, and VB.NET)

[tudbc@codeplex]

I would like to introduce a new database API for Phalanger that will immediately give Phalanger access easily to virtually all available ADO.NET drivers in a much more consistent way, which works in the same consistent way for C#, Java, PHP, Ruby, and VB.NET. Please help me spread the words for http://www.tudbc.org 

Introduction

I would like to introduce the new exciting TUDBC (Truly Unified Database Connectivity) to you, which brings both high performance and high productivity to database access. Currently, it supports

* 5 programming languages with the same unified coding style for

1. C# (also any other .NET compliant languages)

2. Java

3. PHP (including three flavors: original PHP, Phalanger with ADO.NET and Quercus with JDBC)

4. Ruby (including three flavors: original Ruby, IronRuby with ADO.NET, and JRuby with JDBC).

5. VB.NET

There is plan to expand to other programming languages, including C, C++, Perl, Python, etc.

* All major DBMSes: Access, DB2, Derby, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Visual FoxPro, plus text CSV and Excel spreadsheets.

Even though TUDBC works for multiple platforms, the performance is not sacrificed because it is using a new paradigm and caching technique. Performance comparisons show that it is close-to-the-best and the best in various settings.

On the website (http://www.tudbc.org), you will find interactive live demos and source codes for all languages. There are also videos of demos and tutorials, including one that shows you how you can use TUDBC to create a simple web application in 2 minutes.

Please share this great news with your colleagues.

Thanks!
