At the same time, it will provide an open, object-relational database management system. Right now, the landscape of IT application development is severely fragmented. On the other hand, logic inside the DBMS is in the form of SQL-based stored procedures, and never the twain shall meet. The Sybase Java initiative will open new doors for enterprise application development. Object data types Java objects can be stored as values in a relational table.
Developers have a single consistent programming model for all tiers.
Sybase aims to succeed by being the best company for IT to work with, not by providing proprietary solutions to IT problems. The Java relational architecture removes barriers to application development productivity, but proprietary implementations of new technologies can create other barriers. Sybase is committed to helping IT departments deal with the exploding complexity of enterprise information systems and applications. We believe that Java provides a tool to accomplish this goal. Java is the language of choice for the next generation of IT applications because it promises to greatly improve the productivity of application development efforts.
