Titan SQLAnywhere, like Titan Access and Titan Btrieve provides the fastest possible performance of applications that use Sybase SQLAnywhere database.

How does Titan do it? We use the same SQLAnywhere API that Embedded C applications use. Forget about ODBC and the BDE, Titan takes the direct route.

SQLAnywhere is becoming more and more popular, and developers across the world have been looking for the ideal solution with Borland tools. Titan is that solution!

If you have already read our pages on Titan Btrieve and Titan Access, then you already know that Titan SQLAnywhere supports the Delphi and C++ Builder data-aware components, and third party components like InfoPower and Orpheus.

Titan SQLAnywhere Developer is a set of tools that provide high-speed performance when working with Sybase's SQLAnywhere database. Titan uses the same interface as embedded C programs, providing the fastest interface possible to SQLAnywhere databases.

Features

• Titan works with the data-aware controls found in Delphi and C++ Builder
• Titan provides the developer with the ability to use any of the data-aware components and tools available today.
• Use charting packages, report writers, or any other data-aware component with Titan
• We directly support Infopower, Orpheus, and Tee Chart components, as well as the thousands of others available as 3rd party or freeware products
• Titan allows you to see your data live at design-time, just like the Borland Database Engine (BDE) does
• Titan is a drop-in replacement for the BDE, and as such it provides all the amazing capabilities the BDE does
• These features include record filtering, cached updates, and record search and locate services
Titan shows data live at design-time, allowing the developer to see what their application will look like before compiling a single line of code

No Titan License Fees

There are no license fees with Titan. All we ask is that you have one Titan license for each developer you have, we don't care how many products you build with it. This no nonsense approach keeps your investment low, and lets you distribute your applications without worrying about license fees to us.

Source Code Version Available

We're so confident in Titan that we sell a source code version. See for yourself how Titan works it's magic. We have no ugly code to hide! Titan is built on a solid object oriented architecture which is easy to understand. Some Titan developers get the source to add their own enhancements, others buy it for safe-keeping. In either case, it's a great deal as there is over 5 man years of development in the code.

How Does Titan Work?

In Delphi 1.0, 2.0, and C++ Builder 1.0, Titan replaces the Borland Database Engine (BDE) interface such that the TQuery, TTable, and other database related components connect directly to Titan, rather than the BDE. This architecture is shown in the picture above. This allows Titan to be installed transparently, maintaining compatibility with all data-aware components like grids, edit boxes, report writers, etc. This seamless architecture is the real power of Titan.

In Delphi 3.0, 4.0, and C++ Builder 3.0 Borland changed the architecture slightly, allowing the use of "Virtual Datasets" as shown above. This makes it easier to install Titan into these development tools. With these latest Borland tools, Titan provides a complete set of database interface components identical to the Borland ones, except that they talk directly to the SQLAnywhere engine. More detail is found below on how Titan works with Delphi 3.0, 4.0, and C++ Builder 3.0.
