Sounds like I ought to get my finger out :-)<br>
<br>
I want to write a NoSQL database (a Pick derivative) and the plan is to<br>
do it and make it part of LibreOffice. Problem is, as a carer, I find it<br>
very hard to get the time available to concentrate, and I also don't<br>
have all the skills I need.<br>
<br>
Anyways, I will try and have a crack at it - life seems to be getting a<br>
bit easier at the moment - and see where it takes us.<br>
<br>
For those who know me, I am very much anti relational practice - imho<br>
it's impossible to write an efficient truly relational database - the<br>
theory has technical flaws that seriously impact any FNF engine.<br>
Basically, that (in contravention of Einstein's dictum) the engine is<br>
*too* *simple*, which means that any applications *must* be *overly*<br>
*complex*. I'll wax lyrical if you like but you'd be wise not to get me<br>
started :-)<br>
<br>
My main problem is that a Pick database is actually a complete operating<br>
environment. Fundamental to its operation is its language, called<br>
DATABASIC, and while I could probably write the database engine without<br>
too much difficulty, writing the language compiler is a step too far at<br>
the moment.<br>
<br>
Anyways, here's to having a go - if anyone's mad enough to join me, great!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Wol<br>
