Operating Systems

The AxleBase engine is known to run on the following versions of Windows:
        95
        NT Server
        98
        2000 Pro
        2000 Server
        XP Pro
        Vista

Additionally, his databases can be placed on any operating system that can communicate with MS. Windows.

Caution: Testing on Vista has been limited, but the preliminary finding is that it may be impossible to protect your data from access by foreign interests if you use the Vista platform.





Software

AxleBase is designed to be embedded in a host system software which must provide its own GUI. He has an interface to his host system.

The documentation has detailed information for developers of host systems.





Data Connection Components

AxleBase interfaces directly to his host system. An ODBC link is not necessary.

If the host in which AxleBase is embedded is a server, then remote components such as an ODBC driver can be provided for the server.



Hardware


General

AxleBase's hardware requirements are very light. He needs far less than most of today's bloatware even when he manages very large databases. His operation, however is enhanced by powerful hardware.





Processor Speed

To stress test at the low-end, one of AxleBase's test machines is a fifteen year old 120 megahertz computer. However, that machine is certainly not recommended. He is, after all, a database manager.





Disk Space

AxleBase himself is very light-weight and designed for installation on almost any computer. Disk space requirement is mainly deetermined by the database size and purpose.

AxleBase is designed to manage databases that are scattered across a computer, across a network, and even across the world. Even one of his giant tables can be scattered endlessly.





RAM

Minimal. AxleBase is designed to run on almost any computer. Heavy operations, however, such as large queries, can require large amounts of RAM.

An AxleBase instance can run a modest database in any amount of RAM in which Ms. Windows runs well. Large queries can increase memory requirements.

( Caution: Do not run Ms. Access with any serious database manager.)
