ThinkSQL

ThinkSQL is a relational database management system from ThinkSQL Ltd. It is designed for current operating systems and hardware, and sets out to follow the ISO SQL standard closely so that applications are not tied to one vendor.

It installs easily on Windows and Linux. A developer edition can be downloaded for use at no charge.

What ThinkSQL offers

• Standard SQL support — transactions, sub-selects, views, set operators, access privileges and referential constraints.
• Multi-versioning engine — gives consistent views of data and lets rows be read concurrently without locking.
• Stored procedures and functions — written in standard syntax.
• Performance features — hash indexes for faster joins and a statistical query optimiser that takes constraints and relationships into account.
• Driver support — native ODBC, JDBC, dbExpress and Python interfaces.

Who it works with

Developers building applications in Java, Delphi, Python or any language that can use ODBC.
