Hi All, in Euphoria archive (http://www.rapideuphoria.com/dat.htm) I have found some apps to manage databases (EDB) and I tried almost all of them but they are outdated and don't work. Depending on your experience what do you use to manage EDB? Thank you.

Can i ask again, like elevating this to a trouble ticket, that all archive submissions be intact standalone code, with all includes, able to run on a bare new install of Euphoria? This scenario happens often, and more often than people take the time to ask about it on this forum. I'll bet most people new to Euphoria run into this issue and just leave.

EDS is a type of NoSQL database. In fact, EDS actually predates that term by several years! Specifically, it is a table-based and ordered key-value store for keeping Euphoria objects on disk. You can read more about it in the manual: EDS. To me, EDS is one of those systems that is really best to learn by "getting your hands dirty" right away. The API is very simple straight-forward, which makes it a breeze to learn. Once you get the hang of it, you don't really need a management utility of any sort. In fact, it's often more difficult to try and "fit" Euphoria objects into a GUI-based utility than it is to simply manage them in your own code.

While I agree entirely with your suggestion, I must point out that:
- this isn't really helpful to the OP's questions
- this really is a point to be brought up with Rob Craig since that is still his site
Now, I would suggest that this site maintain its own archive of sorts, but I won't, because I would actually like to maintain my own code repository on my recently adopted site that is still under development. Here is a blurb from that new site's not-quite-yet homepage:
This site is a place where you can find resources for learning and using Euphoria. We provide complete descriptive articles focused on learning by example. This offers a stronger learning opportunity than the content available in The Archive which, while comprehensive, is becoming more and more outdated with every new version of Euphoria. Think of usingEuphoria as more of a CodeProject for Euphoria.

In my modified version of ed.ex, -- ESCAPE + D enables :: Euphoria Database System functions for databases and tables. Database menus options are scrolled through the top line menu bar using up/down arrow keys. Simply press enter to Select your choice Db operation. Db Menu feautures "DbSelect" (which also, opens or creates the Db, if needed). "Quit" - quits Db Menu mode. Any open Db will remain open unless closed with "DbClose" or "DbCloseAll", "DbClose", "DbCompress", "DbConnect", "DbDump", "Write_DbSelectCode", "TablesMenu", "TableSelect" Tables Menu: "Quit" - returns user to the top level DbMenu. "DbCloseAll" - DbCloseAll closes all open database(s) and exits the DbMenu mode, "DbMenu", "TableShowRecords", "TablesList", "TableRename", "TableClear", "TableDelete", "TableSelect" - selects or creates a table in the current Db. All open Db(s) are closed when the user quits the editor. The status of any/all open database(s) is easily determined from a Db "Banner" in the upper left hand corner of the screen:
-- {mydb.edb : table1: ##} ## = current table size {opendb1, opendb2, etc} -- -- { } { } -- no db open
This is a simple system, but I have found it to be very useful.
I will post an upgraded version of edx, perhaps today or tomorrow.

I think that the RDS site and the Archive are aging, and I'd be very happy to see usingeuphoria replace it.

So we end up creating a CEAN, like Perl has CPAN and TeX has CTAN? Would seem that the user base would need to expand a bit more before then.

Absolutely!

Okay, well let's do some background reading: Wikipedia article about CPAN and The Zen of Comprehensive Archive Networks
