Support for Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Linux distributions and 64-bit platforms.

Windows Server 2008 - PSQL v10 is a certified Windows Server 2008 product. Users can adopt this latest Server platform knowing that Pervasive PSQL v10 has achieved the highest certification for compliancy, ease of use, security, and reliability that comes with "Certified for Windows Server 2008".

Linux Support - With support for a variety of 32- and 64-bit versions of Linux distributions, PSQL v10 provides unmatched support for Linux.
64-bit - PSQL supports the latest Windows platforms running on Intel and AMD 64-bit architecture. With more memory and address space, up to 4TB cache will become a significant advantage. PSQL Summit v10 includes native 64-bit API support for Btrieve and DTI.
.NET 2.0 - Take advantage of .NET 2.0's improved security and better management of application runtimes.

All New Performance Features

Xtreme I/O - Accelerates the I/O of your database files. Xtreme I/O takes advantage of SMP (symmetric multi processing) for applications with large data sets, reducing the time required for reads and writes.
Page Compression - By compressing data at the page level (instead of the file level), Pervasive PSQL v10 reduces application I/O. Pages are decompressed and placed in cache for reads, and compressed for writes.
Record Compression - Reduce space and I/O requirements and speed up your application. PSQL v10 compresses contiguous characters, shrinking I/O and increasing performance.

More SQL Syntax, Upgraded Install

Long Metadata - We've added long metadata support for up to 128 byte lengths for columns, names, views, stored procedures and more. PSQL v10 includes a metadata conversion utility to make the transition simple and fast.
New Installer - PSQL v10 uses the latest Microsoft Windows Installer. Deployment is simple with the ability to choose between a complete or custom installation for the PSQL Client, Workgroup, or Server.

Still Backward Compatible

Backward Compatible - Pervasive continues it's tradition of making upgrades easy by providing backward compatibility with ten years of previous versions of PSQL.
Easy Migration - PSQL v10 is file compatible with Btrieve 6.15, V7, V8, and v9.
