Integrating the relational DBMS and the expressive Turing-complete programming language is what my Muldis database project is largely about. See http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D/ for the spec, now at version 0.124.0. Its designed to scale and work well with feature sets ranging from SQLite to Oracle. I'm halfway through hitting a major milestone now, 0.124.0 being the first half of that, and if its not inappropriate I'll send an announcement to the SQLite list following the second half in a couple days. -- Darren Duncan _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
