Re: EDB from a system designer's viewpoint - Miklos ...
EDS as it stands is a lightweigt DBS that is not suited for commercial grade
apps as it is written, nor is it intended to be. Where EDS really shines is
saving and restoring program state when that state is too complex for an INI
file. (See, for exmple, the Var_Saver class in the Diamond Standard Class
Library, which can save and restore any or all variables in a program.)
It is also possible to use EDS as the basis of a full-scale relational
system with muti-user capabilites and transactions. A hint: The
DOS/Windows/Linux directory is the database. The .edb files in the directory
are the tables. The tables within the .edb file contain the data, keys,
locking, and update data for that table. Additional .edb files can be used
for system purposes as needed.
