Technical Specs.

GoDB VM Technical Specs :

• Requires only 500KB of storage and just 256KB of memory.
  
  
• Can work on handhelds with monochrome screens with resolutions of just 160x160 to Hi Resolution True Color Screens.
  
  
• Written in pure ANSI C for portability.
  
  
• Garbage collector for scripting built-in.
  
  
• Dynamically adjusts usage of resources based on the platform.
  
  
• All major components are modular and interchangeable.
  
  
• Native device features can be accessed using loadable modules.
  

Comparison Chart:

The following comparison chart compares developing application on GoDB vs. developing online/offline applications using native tools.

Feature	GoDB	Offline Application	Online Application	Custom Development
App Development effort	Small	Small	Small	Very High
Usable From Day - 1	Y	Y	Y	N
Time to market	Small	Small	Small	Very High
Built in Online Capability	Y	N	Y	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Built in Offline Capability	Y	Y	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Built in programming environment for customization and extension	Y	N	N	Y (Programmed separately)
Built in RDBMS for Query Filter, Insert Updates	Y	Y	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Usable when offline	Y	Y	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Dynamically add Fields to the form	Y	N	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Built in field validators	Y	- (Some apps)	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Develop Client side biz logic	Y	- (Some)	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Development effort for reengineering	Small	High	High	Very High
Cross platform	Y	N	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Built in reporting capability	Y	N (Buy separately)	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Built in support for a variety of transports	Y	N	N (Not all)	N (Has to be programmed separately)

Built in SMS sender/receiver	Y	N	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
Built in GPS NEMA parser	Y	N	N	N (Has to be programmed separately)
PC based Simulator for developing applications	Y	N	N	Y
Programmer Skill Level	Low (Basic, Html skills suffice)	High	High	Very Hi (Advanced C/C++ Req)
Learning Curve	Low	Low	Low	Very High (complete understanding of individual platforms required to program required)
Learning curve for different platforms	None	N/A (Same development environment for all the platforms so relearning not required)	N/A	Very Hi ( Complete relearning has to be done for each platform to understand the nuances of specific platform)
