Direct linking with SMA and LLA
The solidDB® server provides a capability to link your application to the server directly, without the need to communicate through network protocols such as TCP/IP. With shared memory access (SMA), you can link multiple applications to a single server instance. With linked library access (LLA), you can link one application. By replacing the network connection with local function calls, performance can be improved significantly.
For more information about creating and connecting linked applications, see the solidDB® Shared Memory Access and Linked Library Access User Guide.
