Re: [leaf-devel] leaf-tools overview (cdb, trig, tmpl)

I am not a fan.  Space can be conserved with binary files, but 
editability is sacrificed.  XML provides human(?) 
readibility/editability, but takes up lots of space.  The filesystem as 
backing store has always seemed to me to be the best idea given the 
constraints.

file can be in readable XML format also. IMHO a very attractive option.

sqlite would certainly work, but the cdb utility would need
to be rewritten in C or C++ and would no longer be hand
editable.  That is why the current version is written to use
the filesystem as the backing store.  In my mind, advanced
users would be able to hand-tune the cdb repository, then
hand-run the trigger scripts, thus saving them from the peril
of using a graphical user interface.  That is, of course, in my mind.

Chad,
Would SQLite work as cdb's backing store, or am I misunderstanding
what a backing store is?
