Instead of reinventing the wheel why not look at SQLite or there is a
nosql
db couchdb as well but not sure how easy that would be to integrate
with LO

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