Transoft U/SQL Enterprise Join Engine

The Transoft U/SQL Enterprise Join Engine (EJE) allows you to use an ODBC or JDBC interface to access heterogeneous data sources within your organization - even when some of the data sources may be non-relational legacy data - as a single database view.

This capability can deliver significant benefits, widening your ability to leverage business intelligence from the data locked up in your organization, simplifying enterprise application integration (EAI) projects, and demystifying data access for non-technical users.


Transoft U/SQL EJE - The benefits

Transoft U/SQL EJE allows you to:

  • Query all your organization's data as if it was one large database - including your non-relational legacy data. This enables you to build business intelligence information based on all of your data, and by using the powerful JOIN capability within Transoft U/SQL EJE you can query your data based on joins between disparate data elements in relational and non-relational databases, giving you a completely new way of analyzing the information embedded in your business.

  • Provides a single point adapter for all your data integration requirements, simplifying your EAI projects by providing one common ODBC or JDBC interface for both data access and updates.

  • Take the mystery out of how your data is organized for non-technical users directly accessing data using query and reporting tools. With Transoft U/SQL EJE they can query data stored across multiple databases, without needing to be aware of where or how the data is stored.


Transoft U/SQL EJE - Technical details

EJE is an additional licensed module of Transoft U/SQL Adapters and Transoft U/SQL Gateway Adapters.

Transoft U/SQL EJE creates a logical data source which contains links to a number of physical data sources, either U/SQL or third-party RDBMS data sources, for example, Oracle, SQL Server, etc. This enables distributed data, over multiple data sources, and/or multiple data sets of the same data (for example, multiple companies as U/SQL enabled data) to be joined and presented as one logical database.

Because the EJE server is programmed to understand the structure of both U/SQL and RDBMS data sources it is able to use any available indexes to optimise query performance.


Where is EJE used?

Typical scenarios where EJE provides a 'solution':

  1. Multi-company reporting for existing U/SQL data sources. Rather than the client application having to do a consolidation of multiple individual queries, which it may not be able to do, EJE allows a VIEW across all the companies' ledgers (that is, the separate ledger files) to be created and a single query can produce these consolidations transparently.

    This solution is very relevant to ISVs/resellers who sell applications that have multi-company capability.

  2. Integration of data across a U/SQL data source and one or more RDBMS. This is required where a client application needs, say, customer information from ACROSS a U/SQL data source and an RDBMS, such as SQL Server.

  3. U/SQL data source populating an RDBMS, that is, Datapump. This is required where an RDBMS needs to extract data from a U/SQL data source.
