SQLite3Professional is a plugin for REALBasic that gives you full low level access to sqlite 3 databases. Starting from RB2005, the sqlite3 engine is include in every version of REALbasic, but due to the way it is exposed to the end user, a lot of its power and its speed arent availables. SQLite3ProfessionalPlugin has been designed to take advantage of all the real speed and real power that the new sqlite3 engine can offer.

SQLite3ProfessionalPlugin is very different from the built-in REALbasic database engine, it doesnt have built-in Database and RecordSet classes (even if its easy to create a wrapper for these classes). It is a near 1 to 1 map to the sqlite3 C api, so you can have access to every sqlite3 routine, so for example, you can interact directly with the virtual machine or you can create your own sql functions, and much more. These are very powerful concepts that cannot be added to the current REALSQLDatabase plugin.

The audience for this plugin are professional database users, that, for example, can take advantage of the sqlite3 progress handler routine to give time to other threads or to update the REALbasic GUI while a complex sql operation is in place, or that can use the sqlite3 virtual machine to build a query system with zero delay time and near zero memory requirements even if millions of rows are returned from a query.

As a real world test, we have created an sqlite 3 database with 10 columns and 200,000 rows (database size is about 200MB), and we have execute a "SELECT * from test" query.

VMware Workstation is powerful desktop virtualization software for software developers/testers and IT professionals who want to streamline software development, testing and deployment in their enterprise.
VMware Workstation software allows the users to run multiple x86-based operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and NetWare, and their applications simultaneously on a single PC in fully networked, portable virtual machines no hard drive partitioning or rebooting required.
Shipping for more than six years and winner of more than a dozen major product awards, VMware Workstation improves productivity and flexibility, and reduces costs so dramatically that it has become an indispensable tool for software development and IT professionals worldwide.
Main features:
- Streamline software development and testing operations. Create multiple development and testing environments as virtual machines on a single PC and use them to test "real world" multi-tier configurations, complex networks, and multiple operating systems and applications all on a single machine.
- Improve team collaboration. The portability and hardware-independent properties of virtual machines, coupled with new features in VMware Workstation, lets users easily share development environments and pre-packaged testing configurations without risk, and also facilitates collaboration between development and QA.
- Enhance the productivity of IT professionals. Allows system administrators and other enterprise IT professionals to test software, including new applications, application updates, and operating system patches, in virtual machines prior to deployment on physical PCs or servers in a production environment. IT help desk departments can create and reference a virtual library of end-user configurations to help them resolve problems more quickly.
- Introduce virtual infrastructure to your enterprise. Virtual machines created in Workstation can be deployed to the other desktop and server virtualization platforms offered by VMware. Introducing VMware Workstation virtualization to the desktop is an ideal first step to transforming your physical IT infrastructure into virtual infrastructure.
VMware Workstation works by creating fully isolated, secure virtual machines that encapsulate an operating system and its applications. The VMware virtualization layer maps the physical hardware resources to the virtual machines resources, so each virtual machine has its own CPU, memory, disks, and I/O devices, and is the full equivalent of a standard x86 machine. VMware Workstation installs onto the host operating system and provides broad hardware support by inheriting device support from the host.
