REAL Server

REAL Server is our fast, reliable cross-platform database server.

REAL Server is the ideal database server for REALbasic and REAL Studio developers who want to convert a single user database to a multi-user one. It's fast, has a small footprint, is highly reliable and runs on Windows, Macintosh and Linux.

Do you feel the need for speed?
At its core, REAL Server uses SQLite, the most popular database engine in the world. When a new, faster release of SQLite becomes available, REAL Server benefits. In our tests, we found that, overall, REAL Server is twice as fast as Postgres and over four times as fast as MySQL.

Your data is safe and sound
SQLite is nearly incorruptible. That's why we chose it as the core for REAL Server. In fact, we have never had a single report of a corrupted database. But, just in case, REAL Server has both a journal engine and automatic backup system.

Fast, easy installation
Most database servers require modifying config files and messing with the command line. Not REAL Server. Just double-click the installer and your server will be ready for use in under one minute!

We are not just the makers of REAL Server, we are also a client
We wouldn't expect you to depend on REAL Server unless we would do the same thing. Our ecommerce system that keeps track of every customer and order we've taken for almost a decade now, is stored in a REAL Server database. When you order through our online store, you are using REAL Server. In fact, our web site is powered by REAL Server. All of the text on every page of our web site is stored and served up from a REAL Server database. We do this to make it easy to translate the site into multiple languages. Our server has been online for several years and has managed millions and millions of connections with nearly zero downtime.

Free to Developers
The REAL Server Developer Edition is completely free of charge and enables you to develop an application based on REAL Server without paying license fees until you deploy your application. Try it now!

Accessibility
In addition to REALbasic and REAL Studio, REAL Server can be accessed via PHP for use with web applications and ODBC for access from any ODBC-enabled client. And with the included SDK, you can access REAL Server using the C/C++ programming language.

"REAL Server 2009 has proven itself to be a solid database platform. With good performance, great features (SSL and DB Encryption), local and server-based database files, REAL Server 2009 is a wonderful value. The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment of the REAL Server 2009 and applications built to run against it. During a recent product rollout cycle a problem with a competitive database product was going to derail the shipment. Switching the application to REAL Server 2009 was accomplished in a couple of hours and allowed us to meet our shipment and integration schedule. That is why REAL Server 2009 is now a core database technology for Linux Software Labs!"
