I give NO PROMISES when or if this will ever get completed BUT!!!
This is a step toward external databases. I am writing some routines to
make handling of fixed record length database easy/easier. IE: Structured
databases.
Yes, EDS does handle creation of its own format of Structured databases.
Yes, you can enforce fixed lengths on you record data using EDS. Not
easily.
No, EDS can not read any external databases. Even if you know the
structure
of the external database.
Yes, Euphoria can read external database. However, You have to painfully
build
the code to read these databases.
My question: What is needed more? What should I code first?
A database reader or a database writer?

I can easily write data with a different language for testing the reader.
The writer doesn't HAVE to come first.
That said !!!
Which is needed more?
Reader or Writer?
<BLOAT to SNIP during replies>
I'm still expanding towards both but haven't reach the point of coding
either.
My structure parsing code is still my major project, Almost complete though.
WARNING: The source is extremely wordy. I am writing this library by
making use of my macro pre-parser. This enables me to abbreviate with "db;"
and expand all instances into "database".
other examples:
"gp<" expands to "global procedure"
">ep" expands to "end procedure"
"len(" expands to "length("
"sd;" expands to "selected_db;" and
"selected_db;" then expands to "selected_database"
