What is RXDbase.
The main goal was to provide a simple yet efficient database table class object which would have the following features:
- Fixed length fields (this feat may be removed by popular demand).
- ISAM and B+Tree indexing.
- Rexx string-oriented. (non-typed fields)
- Easy to use.
- Exploitable from NetRexx and Java seamlessly.
- Could read and write both local and remote db tables.
The result is that four classes were generated:
- RXDbase is the local storage, NetRexx friendly class.
- RXDBClient is the remote storage, NetRexx friendly class.
- JRXDBase is the local storage, Java friendly class.
- JRXDBClient is the remote storage, Java friendly class.
A fifth object, BPlusTree, has been added since then; it is a B+Tree implementation specifically designed for persistent, disk-based trees, with pattern-matching queries and several other features. You can of course use it in your programs as long as you have a valid MaxBase developer license. |
