Use any SQL database

BBj and Barista allow you to use any SQL database such as Oracle, DB/2, MS-SQL server, MySQL or Derby, etc. Just add the JDBC driver to your server classpath and the definition of the JDBC-connect string - that's  all! You can even switch dynamically between databases - e.g. use the built-in BBj database for development and deploy on Oracle. There's no need to recode. Barista will automatically create or convert all the necessary tables and data for you.

Built-in database for your comfort

Although BBj and Barista can be used with any standard database, BBj provides a powerful, built-in SQL database. Besides the standard SQL functionality, it offers additional features for your application, like a direct navigational access to records (aka direct result set navigation). As an additional feature, you can write stored procedures and trigger code directly in BBJ Java code, so there's no need to learn another language for database triggers and stored procedures.

No Barriers Between Your Databases

Even if you use multiple and different databases, BBj and Barista can effortlessly establish the relationships across barriers. Read customer records from your CRM in Oracle and join the results with sales data from your MS-SQL server, all on the same form.
