The IoT Award Winning database InterBase, has for a long time supported the ability to store data in an array field type. This was originally introduced as a new field type to reduce API calls and speed up data write time for a specific Boeing project many years ago. Writing each value into an array can also simplified the data model as well as benefiting database performance.
While array field in InterBase have been around for a long time, they have not aways been that easy to access from the components layer reducing their adoption.
We (geeks) should all know that applications that run in memory run faster than those that have regular disk I/O.
Having more of the data processing in memory has a positive effect on speed and performance, however its not without risk. As memory is transient, you are always at risk of data loss if the data in memory hasn’t been saved to disk (which is where you get the disk i/o speed degradation again.
InterBase brings together the speed of in memory data processing with the security of immediate disk I/O with InterBase Journaling. The write ahead logging enables InterBase to securely log the write transactions to the journal making the best of both worlds possible.
User Security isn’t new; everyone is use to logging into the applications they use. To help developers build cross platform applications faster, InterBase has a flexible API for user security that simplifies the access to data held in InterBase regardless if your application is deployed to Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.
User Security in InterBase helps control WHO gets to see WHAT and is enhanced with a strong encryption model (which I covered in the Rising to the Data Security Challenge webinar) so lets focus on the foundations of user security in this article.
One very cool tip in the video is to use constraints to add in a unique key, this way you can drop it easily at runtime. Remember, the field needs to be marketed NOT NULL to enable a primary or unique key.
ALTER TABLE CUSTOMER ADD CONSTRAINT U_TEST UNIQUE (CUSTOMER_NAME);
The above example names the constraint U_TEST. (you can put whatever value you want in to name it, making it easy to drop with the following statement.
Hundreds of senior executives gathered at the iconic Wembley Stadium to see the winners named. An incredible C-Level audience represented the communications industry from across the globe, with representatives from every continent attended.
The awards, (one for which InterBase was a finalist), were sponsored by leading players from the Telco industry, including ADVA, AsiaInfo, CITIC Telecom CPC, IDT Telecom, PCCW Global, Tata Communications, TeliaSonera International Carrier and Vodafone.

As you can see from the photo above, InterBase beat off the competition to win “most innovative use of data” in part thanks to the patent pending technology “Change Views” that we developed and brought to market back in December 2014 with InterBase XE7.
InterBase, the home of Change Views.
Change Views is dramatically changing the way data is moved to and from mobile and the edge of IoT by allowing developers to easily identify delta’s; By retrieving only the deltas, it enables network traffic and cost to be slashed, ensuring a much richer end user experience. Additionally the enhanced granular encryption and role based security model offered by InterBase enables true enterprise data best practice to exist everywhere through the development life cycle.
There was no chance on the night to do a speech and offer our thanks so I’ve decided to decant it here. Firstly I want to thank all the InterBase users out there for your loyal support and amazing stories you share with us. This go a long way to helping InterBase win such amazing awards.
I want to thank Jason Vokes, John Thomas, Marco Cantú, James Pitts and Michael Swindell for their support and guidance when we initially dreamt up Change Views and needed a plan to bring it from development through to market. Marc Brunel-Walker for helping with the award submission. Dmitry Arefiev for his amazing FireDAC integration helping developers get to the technology faster, and similarly Jeff Overcash for IBX; My wife Charlotte for all her amazing support; But most importantly today to my InterBase team, especially Charlie Caro and Sriram Balasubramanian, with whom I spent 3 long, but fun days in 2014 planning and discussing use cases and scenarios as we set off to give birth to this amazing technology.
Finally a big thank you to Rob Chambers and his team at Total Telecom for a wonderful memorable evening; It is by far the best awards event I have been to in my 4 years at Embarcadero, and I hope we get the chance to attend (and hopefully win another award) next year.

InterBase XE7 update 3 is now available for general release.
What’s new in InterBase XE7 – Update 3?
In my post about InterBase XE7 Update 2 I mentioned about the new reserve words that are used by Change Views and how to work with reserved words by using “quotes”.
CHANGE,
CHANGED,
INSERTED,
UPDATED
DELETED
With update 3, InterBase XE7 only adds these words to the reserved list once Change Views are active in the database. This will make it easier for users to migrate to InterBase XE7 and take advantage of the other cool features like partial data dumps, improved index handling etc.
