• Remote Network Administration.

MediaDent SQL Practice Management® has all of the outstanding functionality found in most competitive products, but also offers the added performance of client/server technology as well as the added power and functionality of a SQL Server. Why does client/server design offer additional performance? Let us take a moment to look at this concept.

In a traditional program, the application is loaded on the client and the data is loaded onto the server. The data is put on the server so that everyone uses and updates the same set of data. When a client puts in a request for the data, the request travels through the network from the client to the server. Once it reaches the server, large quantities of data are sent back across the network to the client from where the query is run. This process can take a significant amount of time when the database size is large. There are many opportunities for data request collisions if more than one client is requesting the same data. When a collision occurs, the database application must lock one of the users out to avoid database corruption. Locking increases the amount of time it takes a user to complete a requested operation.

In a customer/server program, most of the labour is operated on the server. When a customer requests for data, the inquiry is brought to the server. The server receives the inquiry and operates the processing utilizing the data on the server. Once it is finished, the server sends only the inquired information back to the customer. Since much less data is replacing across network lines, there is less chance for a cooperation with other potential inquires. This reduces network traffic considerably and accelerates things up for the user.

Performance Enhancing Stored Procedures

• Data processing is fast; thanks to the usage of kept operations. In database management systems (DBMSs), a kept operations is a group of operational code utterances, called and performed as a unit. Kept operations are sustained on the server. This implies that when the customer invocates the kept operation, only the calling of the kept operation is brought across network lines. All the code is performed on the server.
• Kept operations are also sustained in a precompiled condition. The server doesnt need to waste time composing the code when the inquiry is carried out. The inquiry performs straightway. Both of these kept operations points make a contribution to an even quicker processing opportunities.

Rock-Solid Reliability

• One of the most important criteria in a database management system is reliability particularly when your entire enterprise depends on it. Thats why SQL Server uses transaction logging. Transaction logging means that the transaction is logged before a database modification is attempted. If something happens during the operation, like a power outage, the database uses the log to revert back to its last consistent state of operation.
• Without transaction logging, an event like a power outage could cause corruption and necessitate database restoration from the last backup. Information entered after the backup was made would have to be re-keyed. Transaction logging is one reason SQL Server application should be used when it is absolutely critical that the database not be brought down.

Integrated Security

• In order to gain access MediaDent SQL Practice Management® data, the user must go through three levels of protection. The first level is autorization. Through Windows 2000/2003 the user comes in a login to gain access to the system.
• The second level of protection is database allowance legalization and is controlled through SQL Server when the user fires up MediaDent SQL Practice Management®. In this level, MediaDent SQL Practice Management® boundaryless comes in a second login. SQL Server utilizes this login to define which databases and tables the user has rights to have access to and use.
• The third level of protection is application allowance legalization and is controlled by MediaDent SQL Practice Management®. This third login is utilized to define which experiences (in a multi practice installation) and which menu points the user has allowance to utilize. If the user does not have a necessary allowance, that experience or menu point will not occur in the motif-based user interface.

Enterprise-Wide Scalability

• Database Size — MediaDent SQL Practice Management® has the pass-through function to strengthen to a terabyte size (1,000,000 megabyte) database. Monthly adopting the size of the database as it strengthens is not obligatory due to SQL Servers dynamic self-ruling.
• Concurrency — MediaDent SQL Practice Management® does not have a ceiling on the amount of users that it can control and is constricted only by the hardware and SQL Server. Microsoft states that SQL Server can control over 4000 concurrent users involving up to 18 million database requests daily.

Open Database

MediaDent SQL Practice Management® data is kept on the server in a SQL Server database. During normal usage, data is gained access via the MediaDent SQL Practice Management® client software. Nevetherless, if you have the obligatory protective refining, you can gain access to the data directly utilizing other equipment such as Access, Excel or Word from the client machine.

Open DatabaseThisimpliess that you can look for the database for new interrelations, create new presentations or deliver the data to another supplement like Excel right from your desktop. Microsoft goods are created to combine seamlessly, so granting access to the data with Microsoft Office is simple. You can also gain access the data with other goods by utilizing ODBC (Open Database Connectivity). ODBC is a standard designed by the SQL Access Group that let various databases communicate with each other through a generic documentation sheet. So whether you are utilizing a Microsoft equipment or not, you have combined tools to gain access to the data reserved on the server.

The profits of MS SQL Server 2005 do not arrest there. MS SQL Server 2005 is web conscious. Implying it can be accessed by factually any approach today. Our software can have a connection to a MS SQL database through the Internet with no abnormal setup concerns. This let various establishments to have a connection, observation, and redact data, inclusively of a headquarters, in real time, without huge distance phone bills or midnight present-day data where you are always losing something. Through all this and the other establishments data occurs right next to your own thanks to the Practice Navigator. Alongside with simple, easy relation comes safety. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 meets essential new security improvements, not only suggesting the greatest level of safety accessible in the industry, but also making it much easier to reach that higher level of assurance and security to the combination of your data. To begin with, SQL Server 2005 constructs with a much higher level of defaulted securities, receiving advantage of the combined safety of Windows® 2000/2003 or Windows SBS 4.5 right out of the box. This makes server lock down in manifacturing the environments easier and faster.
