Simpler applications
- DataBlade® modules handle code for manipulating and storing data so the application does not have to.
- DataBlade® module
routines and data types can be accessed by using SQL.
SQL is a standard language and does not require complex application code or programming languages.
- DataBlade® modules
are easy to upgrade
When you change a DataBlade® module, you do not need to relink existing applications; all changes are handled within the database server.
- All data is stored and processed in the same database server.
For example, with a geospatial DataBlade® module, geographic coordinates are analyzed and processed by the database server instead of in a complex application. In addition, the geospatial data is easily integrated with other types of data in a relational database.
- DataBlade® modules
are easy to combine.
You can combine DataBlade® modules that handle different kinds of data in the same database. You can then create one application to integrate all the data.
For example, if a broadcast news company wanted to integrate video, images, audio, and text data for its programs, it could store all the data in one database and use a DataBlade® module for each type of data.
