The ttds is a *free, tcp-ip enabled database server. ttds allows you to enable a tsunami-based application to talk over a tcp network with minimal code changes. It is based on the fine work of Advantage Systems and their Tsunami Record Manager. Because ttds requires the pro version of Tsunami, you must join the Tsunami Users Group in order to use ttds. Membership in the users group allows you to download the required Tsunami pro dll (trmpro.dll). Once you have trmpro.dll, you will be able to operate a ttds server and client software.

There are three components to ttds applications:

  1. The server
  2. The client library
  3. The professional version of Tsunami (required by both the server and the client.
The first two can be obtained on the download page.. And the last must be acquired by joining the Tsunami Users Group (see above).

*The server is free. If you wish to access the server from a non-freeware/non-personal application you must purchase a distribution license.

l i c e n s e
The server is freely downloadable from this site and can be distributed royalty free. The client is also free for freeware applications, developer testing, and personal apps only used by the developer. In order to distribute an application that is not free (shareware, commercial, or in-house/not publicly available software), you must pay a nominal fee for the distribution right (currently $120). Having paid for a distribution license, you have the right to distribute, royalty free, any application you wish that talks to a ttds. The client interface is licensed on a per developer basis - you must purchase one license of the client interface for each developer on your team if you charge for an application that is based on the ttds client.

s u p p o r t
Free peer support is available for the client and the server in a dedicated area of the Tsunami Support Forums. Those that pay the license fee for commercial and shareware license are also entitled to a year of email support. Other support is available for an hourly fee on a consulting basis.
