Well, history always shows that people tend to not believe in any new 
paradigm when they first surfaced. Didn't we say the earth was not 
supposed to be round? Well, the source codes for TUDBC are available for 
download, you can see them and try them yourself, then make your 
judgment.

> "New caching technique", but no details -- hmm.

I am currently writing an academic research paper about the overall 
architecture, and definitely I will share that when I am done.

I am not selling the product, so I am just as happy to share my research 
with the world, so I annouced it in several forums (hopefully this is 
not a crime ;D). I do my diligence by announcing it in only the 
languages that TUDBC currently supports: PHP(s) and Ruby(s). I couldn't 
find any list for Java, C#, VB.NET, etc.

The source codes are available for download for anyone interested to 
examine its correctness, so I didn't make any excessive claims that I 
cannot substantiate.

The wording may be a bit ambitious, but I think TUDBC does it quite 
well.

Excellent question! This is part of the so-called new paradigm.

When you get an instance of SqlCommand (an example in .NET for 
SQLServer), it is always generic, which could be a INSERT or SELECT or 
any other SQL statement in it. Not any more in TUDBC, you always get 
exactly the specific SQL statement you want to work with. (How? I am 
afraid you need to look at the source codes, because each language 
implements it differently, but TUDBC hides all the differences by 
creating a consitent interface for the getSQL() method which is 
explained later)

Why is generic statement bad? You cannot enforce what it should or 
should not do. Let's say it is an INSERT statement, ADO.NET does not 
prevent you from writing codes to try to get a DataReader (like a result 
set) out of it, although we shouldn't and only at run-time it will cause 
error. The specific statement that you get from TUDBC will not allow you 
to do that (in the "standard style" which is from my original design; 
later two National Science Foundation (which is the most prestiguous 
research administration instituition in the US if are not familiar with) 
Program Directors gave a comment that it may be too restrictive for 
practical usage, so I relaxed this requirement to create an alternative 
more agile "EZ style", but it looses the super strongly-typed 
characteristic, but I could still mimic the strongly-typed characteric 
in another way.)

Why is it called "super strongly-typed"? We already defined what is 
"strongly-typed". In fact, SqlCommand is "strongly-typed" already, but 
it is still generic in what it repesents inside. So I coined a new term 
that means it is stronger than the traditional sense of 
"strongly-typed".

I guess I should should explain more about what I mean.

Actually, Ruby is still a strongly-typed language that doesn't require 
you to declare the type in advance. But by and large, Ruby is still a 
strongly-typed language, because "123"+3 would cause syntax error. It 
provides a more convenient way of "ducking" types. For example the very 
succint syntax of ".to_i" or ".to_s" is clever, because we convert types 
so frequently that "Convert.ToInteger" or "Convert.ToString" (in C#) or 
Integer.ParseInt or .toString() (in Java) would be too laborious.

I admit that the super strongly-typed characteristic only applies to 
strongly-typed languages in theory. But I beg to diff, because it can 
also be enforced or helped by good IDEs to ease development. That's why 
I intentionally leave the wording as is. (Read more about exactly what I 
mean in the next two paragraphs.)

My hope is that hopefully one day when TUDBC is widely accepted and IDEs 
eventually catch up, then actually there is a simple way to implement 
this feature inside any good IDEs, even for dynamically strongly-typed 
languages (like Ruby) and non-strongly-typed language (PHP, Perl, etc.). 
How? The IDEs just need to know which method requires support for super 
strongly-typed. For TUDBC, there is only one method, which is getSQL() 
method. So theoretically speaking, IDEs can find out the type of 
getSQL() requires, and it can then support this super strongly-typed 
feature, even for non-strongly-typed languages.

As for strongly-typed languages (e.g. Java, C#, VB.NET, J#, etc.), 
existing IDEs (such as NetBeans, Visual Studios) already can handle the 
super strongly-typed feature. For example, whenever you use getSQL() and 
follow by a dot, the IDEs will auto-complete with exactly the methods 
that it shoud have and no more generic SQL methods. Nothing needs to be 
changed in the existing IDEs for any strong-typed languages to support 
this, and it works beautifully!!!!

That's why it is called super strongly-typed, and that's why it is 
called a new paradigm, because it has never been done this way (I think, 
or at least in any of the existing database APIs).

That is your choice, and I respect that.

Hopefully I do dispel some of your misconceptions about TUDBC.


p/s: As for another criticism of being a spam website to draw 
advertisements. Let's just say that it is so insignificant that right 
now my account still shows a balance of zero. Luckily I don't depend on 
it for a living. :D
