VistaDb - fully managed and typesafe embedded SQL database
VistaDb 3.2 is the world’s first fully managed and typesafe embedded SQL database engine built for Microsoft .NET, Compact Framework and Mono.
Managed code represents source code that executes within the .NET memory space and that is managed entirely by .NET and the Common Language Runtime (CLR). Managed applications let .NET protect a computer or device by preventing rogue or malicious code from directly accessing a computer’s resources such as memory or hard disks where damage can be done. Typesafe means that an application uses the native .NET data types. In other words, no pointers!
VistaDB is the lightweight alternative to SQL Server 2005.
It was during Rojit’s business development work that we came across this person Anthony Carrabino, owner of VistaDB. Since I was also there working on some project at that late hour, Rojit asked me to join him and we both had a good talk with Anthony and we never felt that it was our first chat with him. We just introduced ourselves and he was so good, so responsive and he was giving us tips on how to go ahead in our goal. He told us about his company, how he started it and how he has been fully involved in marketing vistaDB. He was so kind us to send across one copy of vistaDB to try it out.
I remember the last time we spoke to him, it was before he joined Microsoft, he gave us the news and he was quite excited and he told us that it has not been announced officially yet, but he has planned to join the company. I am sure Anthony, you must be enjoying the new company.
