At HP World, Bradmark Technologies (800.621.2808, www.bradmark.com) announced a new release of its IMAGE/SQL management utility DBGeneral which delivers support of the latest limits in the HP e3000 database. Version 7.4 of DBGeneral lets users work with expanded limits of 64 paths, 1,200 items and 240 datasets, upgrades which are supported in the C.09.02 version of the database. This IMAGE/SQL upgrade also supports datasets greater than 80Gb, another limit now supported by DBGeneral. The software “builds on the technology implemented in version 7.3: accelerated detail dataset analysis, master capacity change and ventilation,” according to a company press release. DBGeneral now supports the 64 master path limit directly in the structural change dialog and through direct schema modifications.

Bradmark’s MPE team said “the expanded numbers of items and datasets allow situations that previously required splitting a database into parts to be handled by expanding the existing database. DBGeneral supports this expansion directly in the structural change dialog and through direct schema modifications. All DBGeneral functionality has been updated to handle the expanded numbers of objects.” At the HP World show, Bradmark also announced that HP e3000 distributor Client Systems will offer widespread distribution of Bradmark’s DBGeneral for the HP e3000 and NORAD for platforms running the Oracle, Sybase and SQL Server databases.
