| quotes Persistence is always a trickly issue. I have been amazed at how easily Metakit adapts and solves each new problem I throw at it with an elegance and simplicity that shines through in a ever more complex world. It has proved equally effective at object-database type problems as it is in the conventional world of rows and columns - and at a speed that threatens to melt my overworked CPU's....". -- Matt Newman, Architect, Novadigm Inc., U.S.A. I am currently using Metakit to develop a binary container format for JPEG 2000 and other still image compression methods. This project has been dubbed the "MetaPix" project because it is the first file format that places image metadata at the same level of priority as the image pixels themselves. -- William Radcliffe, Corbis, U.S.A. We spent a lot of time looking for a data storage engine that was portable, fast and powerful enough to embed into our commercial Tcl application. Metakit has continued to scale as the complexity of data manipulation needs in our latest web-based projects increased. Our team has found the Tcl API to be very quick to learn and easy to use. I now tend towards using Metakit over simple flat file structure for even one-off quick prototypes that need very simple data storage. Equi4 Software has provided very rapid and helpful support anytime we had questions. -- Mark Roseman, CTO, TeamWave Software Ltd., Canada Accolades to you for this package. As with any new library, start-up is seems slow, but looking back, I have saved an enormous amount of time by using Metakit and I have only scratched the surface of it's capabilities (have not used more advanced DB features like Join, etc.). Plus your support has been second to none. Keep up the excellent work. -- Kurt Grice, Milltown NJ, U.S.A. Just a quick note - I am very impressed with the elegance of Metakit. We are evaluating it for use in a joint project we are doing with Carnegie Mellon. -- Rob Chandhok, Within Technology Inc, U.S.A. It's now about five months since I bought Metakit, and I thought it was about time I sent a note of congratulations on your product and service. In short, a very satisfactory purchase, I threw out loads of tedious code for storing/retrieving static objects straight away, and I'm using more of the advanced features for storing interactive user data as my project gets more complex. One of the nicest things now is even when I write little utilility or test programs I think "thats not a problem, I can do that with metakit" The code is well written, the product well thought out, and the support especially, is unsurpassed. -- Brett Calcott, New Zealand. Let me congratulate you for your EXCELLENT product Metakit. I've discovered it two days ago and I've spend last 48 hours testing it. It's extremely fast. It's great. -- Alejandro P. Revilla, CompuService Srl, Uruguay. I would like to compliment you on the incredibly high quality and well thought-out design of your software! I accidentally stumbled across your site ... It took all of about 20 minutes to make the purchase decision (I couldn't read any faster at 3am)! -- Dr. John F. Lam, Naleco Research Inc, Canada. Have received your Unix porting package and compiled it 'right out of the box', ran the regression test and 'diff'ed the results with the expected output and it was 100% successful. -- Keith Brown, Houston TX, U.S.A. I have just been visiting your site and seen your library. I can only say that I would wish I had seen it a few months ago. This is just what I have been looking for. I am currently making a program that uses several small databases in one file. -- Alexander Stigsen, Denmark. | metakit index • Overview • Quotes • Links | |||
