Virtuoso is a high-performance object-relational SQL database. As
|
|
a database, it provides transactions, a smart SQL compiler, powerful
|
|
stored-procedure language with optional Java and .Net server-side
|
|
hosting, hot backup, SQL-99 support and more. It has all major
|
|
data-access interfaces, such as ODBC, JDBC, ADO .Net and OLE/DB.
|
|
|
|
Virtuoso has a built-in web server which can serve dynamic web pages
|
|
written in Virtuoso's web language (VSP) as well as PHP, ASP .net
|
|
and others. This same web server provides SOAP and REST access to
|
|
Virtuoso stored procedures, supporting a broad set of WS protocols
|
|
such as WS-Security, WS-Reliable Messaging and others. A BPEL4WS
|
|
run time is also available as part of Virtuoso's SOA suite.
|
|
|
|
Virtuoso has a built-in WebDAV repository. This can host static and
|
|
dynamic web content and optionally provides versioning. The WebDAV
|
|
repository is tested to interoperate with WebDAV clients built into
|
|
Windows XP, Mac OSX and others and makes Virtuoso a convenient and
|
|
secure place for keeping one's files on the net. Further, Virtuoso
|
|
provides automatic metadata extraction and full text searching for
|
|
supported content types.
|
|
|
|
OpenLink Virtuoso supports SPARQL embedded into SQL for querying
|
|
RDF data stored in Virtuoso's database. SPARQL benefits from low-level
|
|
support in the engine itself, such as SPARQL-aware type-casting
|
|
rules and a dedicated IRI data type. This is the newest and fastest
|
|
developing area in Virtuoso.
