Suggestion for EDS: 1. if user stores a sequence, make EDS can check if it is a string (all bytes 0-255). If yes, store as string (just use 1 byte per atom). If not, store as usual. If this is make EDS slower make function enable_string() and disable_string() for example. So I can store contents of a 1 MB file without having a 4 MB .edb file. 2. can make autonumber especially for record keys. and add indexing in same file (.edb) for record data. 3. add encryption with password. Thanks!

EDS only uses one byte per character for strings (except for extremely rare cases where 2 bytes might be used). There's also a couple of bytes of overhead. See compress()/decompress() in database.e > 2. can make autonumber especially for record keys. > and add indexing in same file (.edb) for record data. I'll think about it. > 3. add encryption with password The data is already slightly encrypted, i.e. you can't load a .edb file into an editor and visually read the strings or the numbers. I'm not sure I want to implement one of the strong encryption algorithms. There are still some U.S. export restrictions on encryption algorithms. I wouldn't want Euphoria to be banned from distribution by the large U.S. shareware sites. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com

> Hi, Euphorians! > I'm a bit baffled. What is EDS? EDS is a free database designed by RDS for EUPHORIA. It's a very easy database to learn and there are a couple of eamples on the user contrib page. I recommend d/l ing EDS and reading the HTM that is supplied with the database. >Where is database.e? http://www.rapideuphoria.com/eds.zip

Suggestion for EDS (eu database system): Table can have more than 1 same key. User will define if it can have > 1 same key on db_create_table, such as db_create_table({"data", DB_MULTI_KEY}) -- to be compatible with older version Thanks!
