LinuxPR: theKompany.com Releases Version 1.0.4 of Rekall RAD DBMS Tool
for Linux
theKompany.com is pleased to announce the 1.0.4 release of Rekall, a
personal, programmable DBMS system for KDE. Rekall is the only viable
alternative to MS Access for Linux. With Rekall you will be able to
quickly and easily build database applications using Rekall forms and
reports. A full complement of widgets means that applications built in
Rekall will be able to have the look and feel of any other application.
Rekall applications can be extended in their functionality to perform
virtually any task via embedded Python as a scripting language.
Ever since the release of dBase many years ago, the idea of a
programmable DBMS has become increasingly popular. Major systems have
been written in applications like Paradox and MS Access. By focusing on
the database, users are able to leverage their business knowledge into
working applications. One of the limitations of the aforementioned
products is that their native database didn't scale well or support
multiple users very well. Rekall avoids this problem by dispensing with
a native database. Rekall 1.0.4 Changes
