Lodestar Database is a super fast, non-relational database engine which comes in either single user or network enabled, multi-user client/server versions. The network version comes with either a Novell server or an NT server with clients for Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT. Both versions have libraries for Borland C++, Delphi, C++ Builder and Visual Basic. Lodestar Database has been in use for 10 years in the financial industry and has contributed to huge run time improvements in Credit Union software used throughout the US, but is just now being released to the public as shareware. Credit Unions with as many as 10 branches and thousands of users are currently using our database engine with sub-second response times. Statement runs are 35 minutes for a 35,000 member credit union with over 100,000 accounts and a million + transactions, and can be run while the credit union is open with virtually no degradation in online response time.
