The ooRexx Project is currently working on a new extension package for ooRexx, ooSQLite.
ooSQLite is an ooRexx extension that provides an interface to the SQLite database engine. For complete details on SQLite, go to: http://www.sqlite.org The SQLite database engine is embedded in the ooSQLite extension. Therefore, the ooSQLite extension provides everything needed to create, modify, and query a SQL based database in an ooRexx program. ooSQLite is not a general purpose database interface, it is a SQLite database only interface. ooSQLite will work on any system that has an installed ooRexx interpreter, version 4.1.0 or later. ooSQLite is completely platform agnostic. All ooSQLite code and the database files themselves will work unchanged on any platform ooRexx is supported on. A complete database is stored in a single cross-platform disk file. ooSQLite provides both an object-orientated interface and a 'classic Rexx' interface to SQLite. That is, the object-orientated interface encapsulates the SQLite provided APIs using different classes and methods of those classes. The 'classic Rexx' interface provides a procedural interface where all SQLite APIs are accessed using function calls. The extension is currently under development and exists in source code form in the ooRexx repository at: https://oorexx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/oorexx/incubator/ooSQLite This allows anyone to check out, build, and use ooSQLite. However, knowing that checking out and building is difficult for many ooRexx users, and in an effort to get ooRexx users to participate in the design / implementation of ooSQLite, the ooRexx project is providing a "preview," pre-built, package downloadable from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/ooSQLite/ The current packages provide Windows and Linux, 32-bit and 64-bit binaries. Installation is very simple, merely a matter of uncompressing the package in a location of choice and adding the bin directory to the path. The release note at the SourceForge site provides complete details. If you as a user of ooRexx are at all interested in using a database in your ooRexx programs, please join in the discussions concerning ooSQLite on either the ooRexx user mailing list of the ooRexx developer list. Either or both lists can be subscribed to at: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=119701 -- Mark Miesfeld for the ooRexx Project ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
