Customer software can use the database with [[Object (computer science)|object]] and [[SQL]] code. Caché also allows developers to directly manipulate its underlying data structures: hierarchical arrays known as [[M technology]]. ==Description== {{unreferenced section|date=July 2019}} Internally, Caché stores data in [[multidimensional array]]s capable of carrying [[hierarchical database model|hierarchically structured data]]. These are the same “global” data structures used by the [[MUMPS]] programming language, which influenced the design of Caché, and are similar to those used by [[MultiValue]] (also known as PICK) systems. In most{{How many|date=August 2014}} applications, however, [[Object (computer science)|object]] and/or [[SQL]] access methods are used. [[Caché ObjectScript]], [[Caché Basic]] or [[SQL]] can be used to develop application business logic. External interfaces include native [[object binding]] for [[C++]], [[Java programming language|Java]], [[EJB]], [[ActiveX]], and [[.NET Framework|.NET]]. Caché supports [[JDBC]] and [[ODBC]] for relational access. [[XML]] and [[web service]]s are also supported. Caché Server Pages (CSP) technology allows [[tag-based language|tag-based]] creation of [[web application]]s that generate [[dynamic web page]]s, typically using data from a Caché database. Caché also includes InterSystems Zen, an implementation of [[AJAX]] that enables component-based development of [[rich web application]]s. ==History== {{expand section|date=August 2014}} InterSystems was founded in 1979 to commercialize [[MUMPS]] hierarchical databases. It launched Caché in 1997 as its flagship product and at that time ceased further development of its original MUMPS product line.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.intersystems.com/who-we-are/our-passion/#company-milestones|title=Our Passion: Company milestones|access-date=August 5, 2014}}</ref> ==Market== InterSystems claims Caché is the world's fastest [[object database]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.intersystems.com/cache/index.html | title = InterSystems Caché – World's fastest database | publisher = [[InterSystems]] | access-date = February 24, 2009}}</ref> However, high performance is achieved only for transactional operations that have a significantly hierarchical nature.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} This database management system (DBMS) is used as part of hospital patient tracking, [[electronic medical record]] and medicine management systems, in products developed by companies such as [[Epic Systems]] as well as the VistA system used by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.intersystems.com/casestudies/by-industry.html | title = Case studies – By Industry | publisher = [[InterSystems]] | access-date = March 28, 2011}}</ref> [[Sungard]] includes Caché in the AddVantage [[asset management]] software to finance industry customers such as banks.<ref>{{cite web|author=InterSystems|title=SunGard’s AddVantage Exceeds Performance Benchmarks|url=http://www.intersystems.com/who-we-are/newsroom/news-item/sungards-addvantage-exceeds-performance-benchmarks/|date=June 19, 2002|access-date=August 5, 2014}}</ref> Telecommunications vendors [[BT Group]] and [[Vodacom]] also use Caché.<ref>Interystems case study: Vodacom. http://www.intersystems.fr/page/fr/case_study_vodacom</ref> The [[DB-Engines ranking|DB-Engines]] website ranked Caché as the most popular object-oriented DBMS every month from March 2013 to January 2023, when it was overtaken by [[InterSystems IRIS]] Data Platform.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://db-engines.com/en/ranking_trend/object+oriented+dbms | title = Trend of Object Oriented DBMS Popularity | publisher = DB-Engines | access-date = May 12, 2024}}</ref> ==Platforms== Caché runs on [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Linux]], [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]], [[HP-UX]], [[AIX]], [[macOS]] and [[OpenVMS]] platforms. ==See also== [[GT.M]], a related database system ==References== <references /> {{DEFAULTSORT:InterSystems Cache}} [[Category:Relational database management systems]] [[Category:Object-oriented database management systems]] [[Category:Proprietary database management systems]] [[Category:MUMPS implementations]]
