Mimer Information Technology announced the availability of its Mimer SQL Embedded database management system (DBMS) for Wind River’s VxWorks real-time operating system. Mimer SQL Embedded for VxWorks combines a full function enterprise class DBMS with a hard real-time data management extension with predictable and deterministic response times. This makes it possible to develop advanced hard real-time applications for process industry, automotive and consumer devices with access to the full SQL feature set.

Mimer Information Technology is a new member of Wind River’s partner program, and is now ready to launch the Mimer SQL Embedded product for Wind River’s VxWorks real-time operating system. Mimer SQL Embedded is a small footprint relational DBMS for embedded devices and appliances. Despite its small footprint, Mimer SQL Embedded is multi-user with full standard SQL support including features like stored procedures and triggers. Mimer SQL Embedded’s well-proven, efficient and self-tuning DBMS kernel gives a zero maintenance run-time environment, reduces the time-to-market for embedded solutions and enables software component reuse.

Mimer SQL Embedded for VxWorks is extended with Mimer SQL Real-Time that combines predictable hard real-time and non-real-time database access. Mimer SQL Real-Time allows data management in embedded real-time applications to be taken to a higher level while still maintaining real-time predictability and fine-grained control.

Mimer SQL Embedded highlights:

• Full SQL support
• Stored procedures and triggers
• Full concurrency control (non-locking)
• Small footprint (down to 30 KB RAM for full server)
• Zero maintenance (no ‘vacuum’ needed)
• Hard real-time support with deterministic response times (Mimer SQL Real-Time)

“We see Wind River’s VxWorks as an important platform for Mimer with many new business opportunities for us, since this is a platform widely used by the automotive, process-control and robotic industry with a growing need for enterprise class DBMS functionality with hard real-time data access”, says Stefan Eck, Marketing Director, Mimer Information Technology. “We’re also looking forward to establish a close relationship with Wind River and its partners”, concludes Stefan Eck.

Mimer SQL Embedded and Mimer SQL Real-Time are available for VxWorks 5 and 6.

“We welcome Mimer as a Wind River partner and are very pleased with that they now make their Mimer SQL database technology available for VxWorks”, says Warren Kurisu, senior director of product management, Wind River. “Mimer’s small, real-time attributes nicely complement those of VxWorks, and will meet the needs of many of our customers.
