Mimer SQL Documentation Set pdf

Mimer SQL is an advanced relational database management system (RDBMS) developed 
by Mimer Information Technology AB.
Mimer SQL has a number of unique technical solutions to handle some of the more 
complicated functionality that a database management system must provide.
For example, Mimer SQL provides a solution to the problem of allowing simultaneous 

access to the database without the danger of a deadlock occurring. This greatly simplifies 
database management and allows truly scalable performance, even during heavy system-
load.
Another significant technical innovation is the data storage mechanism, which is 
constantly optimized for the highest possible performance and ensures that no manual 
reorganization of the database is ever needed.
Mimer SQL offers a uniquely scalable solution, including multi-processor support and, 
with its availability on all major Unix/Linux, Windows 2000/XP/Vista, Mac OS X, and 
OpenVMS platforms, is ideally suited for open environments where interoperability is 
important.
The database management language Mimer SQL (Structured Query Language) is 
compatible in all essential features with the currently accepted SQL standards, see the 
Introduction to SQL Standards  on page 9 , for details.
This manual provides a full reference description of the Mimer SQL language. It is a 
complement to the  Mimer SQL User’s Manual and the  Mimer SQL Programmer’s 
Manual.
