database

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Rob...

What motivates you to create such a beast for free? Surely it took an
enormous amount of work for you?

How does serendipity compare on speed to database programs written in
C++?


Take care,

Jonathan

I have scripted a hierarchical, binary-tree database in Transcript which
is 
open-source and royalty-free.  Relational indexes are NOT built in, but 
must be created and maintained individually.

Serendipity Database--Binary (SDB) is available for download at 
<http://wecode.org/serendipity/>.  The download includes client and
server 
software for multiuser operation, stacks for automated testing &
examples, 
and reference stacks...along with Serendipity Library.  Also included
are 
RAD tools for adding SDB support to existing Rev stacks and creating 
database data dictionary record descriptions from existing stacks.

SDB offers:

         * A native Transcript database engine running on all platforms 
supported by Revolution with NO modification

         * Standalone and client/server operation with the same front
end 
(the later including automatic & specific record locking)

         * Multi-lingual and user-translatable capabilities (shipping
with 
support for Dutch, English, French, German & Spanish)
