REAL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) built on top of the sqlite database engine.

History

REAL Server evolved from the SQLiteServer originally developed by SQLabs in 2004. In May 2005 REAL Software, Inc., creator of REALbasic, purchased the source code and the copyrights of the SQLiteServer and greatly invested in its development. In 2007/2008 the first version of the REAL SQL Server was released and the entire REAL Software website was rebuild on top of it. In three years the server was able to handle about 20,000,000 queries/month with 99.9% uptime. In 2009, most of the architecture of the server was rewritten from scratch in order to offer much better scalability and performance. This new version was released in April 2009 and renamed REAL Server.
