Ocelot System Requirements

Re: DLL
THE OCELOT SQL DBMS's code comes as a 32-bit DLL. The size of the DLL is about 700KB. To install the package, run OCELOT.EXE (it's a self-extracting zip file), then run SETUP.EXE. For programming work, you will also need a C or Pascal compiler that can make programs which call the DLL's functions. Parameters and function names are the same as for Microsoft ODBC. Most of the example programs are in C.

Re: OS
THE OCELOT SQL DBMS contains a 32-bit DLL for Microsoft Windows95/98/Me/NT.

Re: RAM
For effective running, THE OCELOT SQL DBMS needs at least 8MB RAM. Although the code segment in a 700-KB DLL is obviously small, a DBMS uses lots of temporary RAM and the rule for this kind of product is always: the more the merrier.

Re: Disk
To calculate file size requirements exactly, you should examine the characteristics of each data type (to get the data type descriptions click here). You will probably find that the disk requirement is less than that for any other DBMS product, because THE OCELOT SQL DBMS does not require indexes, does not group rows in pages, and stores CHARACTER VARYING or BIT VARYING fields as truly variable-size fields.
