Restart Tools

The code-named Restart Tools is an Object Database Suite targeting to provide an alternative to traditional relational database management systems (RDBMS).

Restart Tools is expected to be useful mainly for the development of standalone desktop applications, where a full featured RDBMS would be a too heavy solution. Restart Tools could be used as well as a server-side back-end database for web-based applications and services.

Restart Tools is written in pure C# using Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005. Besides the Object Database Engine they include a User Class Designer and a series of interface components for XML, ADO.NET and Windows Forms.

Designing and developing Restart Tools applications will require Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with the C# language pack installed. The requirements for Visual Studio 2005 are listed in the product documentation.

Applications developed with Restart Tools will run on any system with the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed. These include most Microsoft Windows operating systems - Windows XP (all versions), Windows Server 2003 (all versions), Windows 2000 (all versions). The applications should run as well on Windows Me, Windows 98 or Windows NT, with possible restrictions. More information can be found in the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 documentation.

The first version of Restart Tools will be available on August 01, 2006. Please note that the release date, name and contents of the product are still subject to change. Additional information, including pricing and licensing, will be published later in this website.
