1. Re: Euphoria's Future - Industrial Strength EDS?
Matt (and Ken),
Still plugging away--trouble is life (1 yr-old son, wife having difficult
pregnacy with #2, moving into new house in Feb.) and work (programming
full-time in Visual Basic) leave so little time for my true vocation
(programming in Eu). Also seems that each new design of the database engine
leads to improvements in Object Euphoria itself (Update with completely
rewitten Standard Class Library will be posted as soon as I complete the
docs.)
I have checked out EuSQL and am very impresed with it--a very worthy product
taht i'd love to see extended. Quite possibly I'll be borrowing some ideas
when I finally get around to doing an SQL interpreter. My intention is to
get the system working with methods optimized for OE, the write a SQL
interpreter to call them, so the programmer could use SQL or the OE
interface or both to manipulate the database.
My key concept is a space vs time tradeoff in which each table will store
additional indexing data to allow fast binary search, queries, etc. on ANY
field, not just the key. When completed, relational integrity will be
maintained between linked tables as well.
I would be happy to correspond in more depth by private email:
