TopLink

TopLink enables developers to separate business logic from application data residing in standard relational databases such as Oracle. This is done by abstracting the interface to the database, which is normally done through SQL, and mapping the data directly into application objects. At execution, TopLink insures data integrity while maximizing system throughput and performance. The net result is a reduction in time to market for application development, and a more predictable, scalable application at runtime.

For Java developers, the key benefit lies in TopLink's ability to build value-added business applications that are object-based even when the database being worked with is relational. For businesses, TopLink eliminates database redesigns and results in a dramatic reduction in time to market for application development, along with superior predictability and scalability at runtime.

Formerly developed and marketed by WebGain, TopLink was sold to Oracle in June of 2002.
