Download THE OCELOT SQL DBMS

Ocelot makes THE OCELOT SQL DBMS -- the only Database Management System (DBMS) that supports the full ANSI / ISO SQL Standard (1992), and an always-growing checklist of SQL-99 features. Work is in progress for the next standard version, SQL:2003. And there's no charge for a complete working copy! We supply engines and front-ends which work on any 32-bit Windows platform. Call direct or via ODBC. This is also the only place on the Net where you can find documentation that explains and provides examples of the full SQL-92 Standard. Version 3.02 is now available.

THE OCELOT SQL DBMS is good for commercial purposes. The Mozilla open-source license allows distribution without royalty. The single-user engine has been described by users and the press as "robust", "superb", "something the big guys can't do", and "everything you could want". The multi-user features use TCP/IP to provide client/server operation -- we have financial-industry customers running 24x7.

THE OCELOT SQL DBMS is good for education purposes. It's standard SQL with no omissions -- and no extensions either. It's a tiny download -- the no-source-code version fits on one diskette. Installation takes less than a minute. The graphical front end alone has all the options that you'd see in $500 packages like Microsoft Access. There's help too, and real error messages -- not "syntax error" brushoffs but real explanations!

Ocelot is not minimum SQL, Ocelot is not a subset of SQL, Ocelot is SQL.
THE OCELOT SQL DBMS supports primary and foreign keys, subqueries, outer joins, views, unions, intervals, datetime arithmetic, character sets, alters, domains, commit/rollback, case expressions, floats, national sorts, the information schema, casts, assertions with check clauses, group by and having, schemas ... and, to make a long list short, everything. For programmers, there's an ODBC interface and loads of samples; for end users there's a GUI front end. Our DBMS allows many tables, many rows, many users. There are no index files, there are no non-standard extensions to the language. Basic instructions are downloadable; a printed book with full SQL documentation is available from your local bookstore; any book on standard SQL will serve as extra documentation. We do not provide technical support.

How to install THE OCELOT SQL DBMS

THE OCELOT SQL DBMS comes as a self-extracting zip file, called OCELOT.EXE. Once you've downloaded our package, you may unzip to anywhere on your hard disk.

How to download the current package

Before you use FTP to download a copy of our DBMS, let's be clear what you're doing. Although free, this package is COPYRIGHTED and licensed as an Open Source application under the Mozilla Public License. You will see further information about legal restrictions in the file LICENSE.TXT which is part of the download.

The download file, OCELOT.EXE, is a 3.9MB self-extracting zip that includes the entire DBMS package, including source files. (You may choose to download a truncated version without source files.) The download file contains DLLs for Windows95/98/Me/NT. The DLL footprint is only 600KB but actual RAM requirement is several megabytes -- THE OCELOT SQL DBMS uses lots of temporary space. You won't need any other DLLs to run THE OCELOT SQL DBMS, even when you use our Greek or Cyrillic or Unicode features. The included documentation is a large .TXT file (SQLDB.TXT), which describes the basic package details. Further documentation is provided in the book SQL-99 Complete, Really (ISBN 0-87930-568-1).

Ocelot's ANSI conformance, formally stated, is: Full SQL using a Direct SQL Invocation binding style. Our DBMS conforms to the ODBC 3.0 core specification, there are certain exceptions which are described in the documentation.
