UnityJDBC is the product of over ten years of research on database and schema integration and numerous prototype systems. One prototype was built via support from the US Army Research Office and designed to integrate numerous security-related data sources to aid in terrorist detection. The join algorithm used to relate data across sources is called Early Hash Join and has been submitted for a United States patent. UnityJDBC contains years of research and development combined into an effective and efficient database integration system. UnityJDBC is under active commercial development and is supported by ongoing research efforts by Dr. Ramon Lawrence and students at University of British Columbia Okanagan.
