Overview

Reptile uses the Hypersonic SQL database for internal storage and Torque


Hypersonic

Hypersonic provides us with a backend database which we use to index content across Reptile instances.

This provides us with:

  • Fast access to data with standard SQL syntax.
  • XML serialization of SQL results with JDOM and Xalan extensions
  • Ability to cache distributed queries on P2P networks

  • Torque

    Torque provides us with a simple and lightweight database abstraction API.

    Basically it allows us to have a lightweight object-relational mapping with very little hassle.

    The following shows the Article and ArticlePeer classes which provide good examples of Torques object mapping capabilities.
