(June 25, 2003) - OpenLink Software, Inc., announces Virtuoso 3.2 - the latest edition of its cross platform Virtual Database for SQL, XML, and Web Services - for Mac® OS X. The new release incorporates full client and server support for the Blogger, Moveable Type, and MetaWeblog APIs, providing users with choice over location, format, data storage, development environment, and host operating system, for personal, community, and corporate Weblogs. The new release also facilitates the transparent integration of Weblog data with other enterprise data sources.

Virtuoso continues to provide access to heterogeneous data sources -- databases, XML documents, and Web Services -- through industry standard data access interfaces such as XML, XQuery, XPath, SQL, ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, and ADO.NET. It also integrates transparently with runtime environments for distributed computing such as Microsoft .NET, Mono, and J2EE, enabling the creation and hosting of WSDL-compliant XML Web Services, Stored Procedures, Functions, Triggers, and User Defined Types, written in Java or any .NET bound language. Furthermore, the new release extends its Virtual Web Application Server functionality to include support for Python and Perl, in addition to existing support for .NET, ASP, PHP, and Java Server Pages.
