Persistence Software Inc, San Mateo, California, will be releasing its Persistence 1.0 C++ application development tools with commercial ships set for October. Aimed at Oracle and Sybase users moving to C++, the Unix-based product adds object oriented extensions to the two databases. It consists of a Database Interface Generator that automates development of data access methods, enabling generation of code in a day, and a Runtime Object Management System which uses object caching to speed up performance. An initial version will support Sun systems and the Oracle and Sybase databases – others will follow later this year. – Sophie Goodchild
