RebSM
REBOL Storage Manager
RebSM is a small but highly efficient storage manager with a SQL-like interface.
Features
- Works out of the box
Just adddo %rebsm.rto your script and you are ready to go. No marathon installation / configuration / tuning sessions required! - Native REBOL storage
Your data is stored and accessed as REBOL values which means that you have the full range of REBOL data-types at your fingertips! - Plays well
The 10 functions that drive the database behave like any other REBOL function, accepting and returning REBOL values as you would expect. - Lean and mean
The entire script weighs in at about 20Kb of highly optimized and tuned R2 / R3 syntax. It can blaze through millions of rows a second!
Quick start
This revision of RebSM now works with both R2 and R3.
From a REBOL console:
do http://www.dobeash.com/RebSM/rebsm.r help db- test: db-load http://www.dobeash.com/RebSM/test.bin help test db-select test [] [1] db-select test [] [all [c1 = 1 odd? c2]]
Changes since 3.0.3
The following changes were made in 3.0.4:
- Support added for both R2 and R3
- SQL function removed
object!datatype no longer supporteddb-importfunction addeddb-makenow defaults to single byte field length indicators
This last change means that the maximum series! length supported is 255 bytes.
