Elevate Software has been providing royalty-free, small-footprint, embedded database solutions for developers since 1998. Our primary focus is on database applications that require a high volume of distribution, must install easily, and once installed, remain immune to configuration issues. Our products offer both navigational and SQL access methods, and operate in single-user, multi-user peer-to-peer, and multi-user client-server environments. Our first-generation product, DBISAM, is a good fit for Delphi and C++Builder application developers wanting a fast and highly-customizable database engine that compiles directly into their applications, especially when replacing the BDE (Borland Database Engine) in existing applications. Our newest product, ElevateDB, is geared toward all database application developers, and is available for almost all development environments.

When using a remote session in a client application to connect to an ElevateDB Server, ElevateDB uses the operating system TCP/IP protocol support to perform all required communications to and from the ElevateDB Server. The TCP/IP protocol guarantees that any data stream sent either to or from an ElevateDB Server will arrive as a complete stream in the exact form that was sent. However, there is no way to guarantee that a given connection will be maintained indefinitely and not be interrupted by hardware or software issues that cause the connection to be lost. This article discusses how ElevateDB can handle such situations and how you can configure ElevateDB to optimally deal with them in the manner that you wish.
