The c-treeACE SQL Types SDK allows developers to access non-standard data types via SQL. For example, many existing date types don't follow c-tree standard date conventions. The c-treeACE Types SDK gives developers a method to convert these dates on the fly for performing SQL inserts and queries.
The SDK has been extended with this release to allow conversion to occur at field access time instead of (or in addition to) record read/write time. This new capability allows performing conversions only when data is actually accessed, avoiding it when not strictly necessary. The performance benefit of this approach is very evident in those cases where a record is read but the portion of it that requires conversion to occur is not accessed.
