Re^2: Moving from SQL to flat-files

I've long wanted to have the time to make a DBD::DbmDeep. It ain't gonna happen. If anyone wants to do this, it would provide DBI/SQL access to DBM::Deep's excellent backend. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, DBD::DBM would be a good place to start. In fact, it's possible it already works with DBM::Deep (yeah, yeah, it's my code but I've forgotten what it does). If you (dragonchild) or anyone else wants to pursue this, I'd be glad to help.

I'm actually going in the other direction and writing Presto, which is a OODBMS built on top of DBM::Deep. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

Very cool. Still it's not mutually exclusive - why not have OODBMS and RDBMS frontends to DBM::Deep?	[reply]

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say "Nonono!". :-) I meant to say "I won't have time to do it, but other people are more than welcome to do so." Plus, you'll exercise DBM::Deep a bunch, making it better. :-) And, with 1.00, you'll have transactions. My criteria for good software: Does it work?
