The currently known caché is applied in the hospital information system (i.e. his), which is said to be in the medical and health industry in Europe and the United States, caché accounted for 70% of the market share. China Donghua Software is the use of Caché database, Donghua software in the domestic hospital market share of roughly 20%, including Beijing Union Hospital, Sichuan University, West China Hospital.
Caché Features: Multidimensional database architecture, post-relational database, self-developed environment, fully object-oriented.
Relational database can handle "tabular data" very well, but it is powerless for complex types of data.
But now, after all, in the heyday of relational databases, many applications in the medical industry use SQL as the query language, and Caché supports SQL data access to be compatible with these applications.
Caché has three integrated database technologies that can concurrently access the same data:
1. Mature Object access Mode
2, high-performance SQL access mode
3, rich multi-dimensional access
Caché provides more than just database technology, but also an application server, which provides advanced object programming that can easily be integrated with many technologies, provides a high-performance operating environment, uses a unique distributed data caching protocol technology, and provides a rich integrated development environment. Used to develop web-based applications, and for non-browser-based applications, the user interface can be written in any popular programming language, such as VB, Delphi, Java, or C + +.
