Priced at $3000 US for single copy sales the XStreamDB 3.2 is ideal for enterprise or even better for OEM such as content integration servers, next generation content management systems, learning object repositories or just about anyone that needs to store XML and understands the true power of XQuery and native XML storage. The improvements come mainly with respect to performance and security. Performance was optimized via precompiled XQuery functions that have increased the speed of operations up to thirty times in some cases. Major changes to the security system were made. Highlights include: Addition of Group Security, Better System Table Security, Owner Security and Extended Operation Permissions. The XStreamDB security model is now much enhanced and very flexible. The addition of extended operations allows applications to define their own operations on documents and have XStreamDB manage these. In addition to performance and security, XStreamDB 3.2 has an enhanced tree update, as well as, document metadata support. With the enhanced tree update the user can identify any node in the database and make appropriate changes, all within the context of XQuery. Document metadata is associated with every document in the database thus extending the choices developers have when determining a document identity model. About Bluestream Database Software Corp.
