NexusDB

Our Goal

Deliver the technically best DBMS on the Internet.
We are very confident that the demonstration of the correctness of maintaining this goal is evidenced by the expanding end user base of products powered by NexusDB. 2025 will be the 23rd year of our ongoing presence in the DBMS and RDBMS spaces.

General info

Development of NexusDB began in January 2003 in Brisbane, Australia, by Geoff Harris, with the initial development by Thorsten Engler and Eivind Bakkestuen. NexusQA continues to promote and distribute the commercial product. NexusDB version 1 was relased August 31st 2003 and it quickly became known as the best database for the Delphi and C++Builder market. Development of tools and supporting products such as the Nexus Memory Manager product (another best of Delphi) vastly improved on the built-in memory manager and solidified our reputation in creating advanced programming libraries. NexusDB version 2 improved on v1 with it's groundbreaking SQL:2003 support, a first among Delphi database engines. More recently we have included stand alone tools such as the Nexus Quality Suite and the NexusDB Remoting tools.

Current Development

Geoff Harris is the product owner of NexusDB. Algorithmic design, development, implementation and testing is the primary focus of Thorsten Engler as the chief architect and Eivind Bakkestuen as senior developer. This research & development attracts ongoing funding under the R&D incentive scheme, which is reviewed yearly from the Australian Government.

Hot news from the R&D Development workbench:

• Additional single file DB format
• Disaster Recovery suite
• Support for Linux OS Target
• Development of the Nexus IDE - being the equivalent of Microsoft Access
• PyNX (Phoenix), is a python library enabling connecting to NexusDB, and is currently undergoing beta testing

Target market

We know we are the best drop-in DBMS for Delphi and C++Builder developers.

Our initial target market was database developers on mainstream development IDEs and OS platforms, Delphi/C++Builder, Visual Studio, under win32/64 and .NET. Furthermore NexusDB v5 will support more IDEs and platforms (Android, iOS, MacOSX, Linux OS targets; server compilable in FreePascal to run under Linux etc).

Additionally NexusDB Server and the Enterprise Manager are stand alone, high-end, DBMS products
