Products and Services

Many people know us as the company that sells VistaDB, a managed database for .Net developers.  But we also offer more than just the database product.  Did you know we offer database consulting for reviewing designs and recommended best practices to companies?

Products

VistaDB

VistaDB.Net – Managed database for Dot Net programmers, but include SQL Server compatible types and classes for each of migration.

VistaDB gives dot net programmers the ability to xcopy deploy a powerful database engine to almost any environment.  Since VistaDB is an embedded database, most end users of VistaDB don’t know we exist.  After the initial VistaDB 3.0 launch we added more features like T-SQL Procs to make it compatible with Microsoft SQL Server.  VistaDB 4 is the current product and continues to expand upon the capabilities of the engine.

CornerstoneDB Tools

Tools for enabling database admin and dot net developers to work with their data through APIs to automate common tasks.

CornerstoneDB Data Generator is our first tool and allows for quick generation of data into existing database schema for VistaDB, SQL CE and SQL Server.  There are generators for things like first names, addresses, foreign keys, birthdays, and more.  The generators are designed to be used from a UI tool for single runs, or within an API for repeatable generation in unit tests.

SQL Script Generator Build SQL scripts from a database, even to target another vendor!  Build your schema from one database to another quickly.

Other tools and services are listed on the CornerstoneDB.com website.

Services

Examples services:  Database design review, application architecture review, application fault analysis, database normalization, SQL Server data migration

We have always offered database consulting services to customers of VistaDB.  Reviewing application designs based upon data needs, offering best practice advice, and much more.

Many small business owners like the ability to work with the vendor of the database engine, because we are the experts.  Some companies like to have an outside firm review their design and look for performance points early in the development stages, we offer a comprehensive review of data and structures that will cause performance problems in VistaDB and SQL Server.

Consulting

If a customer had a special needs, or wants a specialty built database engine for their application we can do that work through consulting agreements.

We recently completed a massive custom engine project for a company that wanted our core functionality, but in their own namespace and with custom features for their embedded system.

We are currently working with another ISV who wants to custom brand our current License system for their own developer API product.  This work involves us working closely with them to integrate what we have built into their product, but also changing components to work for their user scenarios.
