Slam DBMS Library

Compact database library DLL for Windows developers

Slam DBMS ("Database Management System") is a complete custom database and index manager built into one small dynamic link library (DLL). It allows you, as the developer, to add complete database handling capabilities to your applications without having to worry about file management or multi-user problems, and still have all the power and flexibility that you need.

Try the Slam DBMS Library plus Slam Explorer evaluation package (pictured) and "test drive" Slam for yourself! The no-strings evaluation includes a 60-day trial version of the library (without any other restrictions), and our SlamDB Explorer product. The Explorer, which is free, allows you to create and monitor Slam databases in an easy to use, multiple-document "IDE"-style utility.
