What is the Simple Database API?
Once MckoiDDB has been installed on a network it is able to perform basic data management and query tasks across a cluster of machines. Unfortunately this is not useful unless there is also a way for developers to model data structures appropriate for their needs. The Simple Database API is a data model that does just this – allowing developers to create and manipulate structures such as tables with indexes, maps (associative arrays), and objects that may be changed arbitrarily in a strictly consistent and parallel way using transactions and snapshot isolation. In this guide we will create a Simple Database instance on our MckoiDDB installation and demonstrate some Java applications that store and retrieve information using structures provided by the Simple Database data model.
