GT.M is a high end platform for developing transaction processing database applications. Individual database files in the terabyte range are supported; a logical database can consist of many files. It provides full support for ACID transactions using a Software Transaction Memory (STM) programming model and optimistic concurrency control. The GT.M data model is hierarchical associative memory (i.e. multi-dimensional arrays) that imposes no restriction on the data types of the indexes or content, nor any restriction on the schema is that imposed by the application. Such databases are also referred to as "document oriented", "schemaless", or "schema-free".

Recent releases


Release Notes: This release has some timely bugfixes.


Release Notes: This release adds major new functionality and platform support, including database encryption and alias variables. The database file size limit has been increased from 128M to 224M blocks. There are performance enhancements, among others, especially for applications that use Transaction Processing. Compilation is faster and uses less memory. MUPIP LOAD is much faster in UTF-8 mode. There are smaller enhancements, remedied misfeatures, and bugfixes.


Release Notes: With this release, GT.M goes to 64 bits on the x86_64 platform. From the source tarball, both 32- and 64-bit binaries can be built. The 64-bit version also generates object files that can be put in standard shared libraries with ld.


Release Notes: Unicode 5.0.0 support was added.


Release Notes: The GT.CM network server now uses GNP (Greystone Network Protocol). There are some changes in I/O, close to the 95 standard.
