RE: Berkeley DB with Euphoria
Hi Andy,
I looked at wrapping Berkley DB awhile ago and come up against the
same obstacles as you.
An alternative might be SQLite (strangely enough I happen to have a
wrapper for it already!!!! - see my web site below for euSQLite).
SQLite implements a large subset of SQL and is a very fast embeddable
SQL engine. Users of the SQLite mailing list claim databases many GB’s
In size without problems.
The other benefit of SQLIte over EDS and Berkley DB is the fact you get
a SQL engine built in!
So how big is to big for EDS?
