This update includes the first release of the Client/Server version of Serendipity Database--Binary (SDB) and the revolution_ipc group's interprocess communication library, libIPC, to the Revolution community at large.
SDB is a general-purpose, hierarchical database written entirely in Transcript. It runs in single user or client/server mode with identical syntax, and includes database administration & search utilities. Serendipity Library is available without charge to all Revolution & MetaCard developers, and is now 100% open source.
SDB databases support:
* Multiple record types
* Variable length records, fields, & keys
* Record access by
Exact or approximate key
Relative position (ie: first, next, previous, & last)
Record Id (db stack card Id)
Raw record number (db stack card number - 3)
* Update and retrieval of individual fields
* Record selection based on field contents.SDB, like Serendipity Library in general, is multi-lingual and user translatable. The Library currently ships with language support in Dutch, English, French, German, & Spanish.
Enjoy! --
