Hi Steven, I had a browse over the KitaroDB web site and documentation. I see it's a classic b-tree organisation written in C, with .NET bindings (it's weird that all the managed methods are unsafe?!) The general feel of the library and it's usage pattern is similar to way they've published the managed wrappers over the ESENT API. However, my initial feeling is that ESENT is superior with wider type support, a larger API (that you can consume incrementally) and more mature features.
I'm going to try it out in any case, as I'm always looking easy-to-use for lightweight databases and KitaroDB is a good candidate. Is it free? I can't see any statement that it's not. I think it's a bit misleading of them to badge it as a NoSql database, as it doesn't seem to behave like any of the famous contenders in that arena. I'll let you know how I go, if I find anything of general interest I'll let the group know. *Greg K* On 23 October 2014 07:49, Steven Parish <[email protected]> wrote: > We have been developing using the synergy/de platform for 30+ years. > > The synergy isam meets a lot of your criteria. > > There is a runtime required for their main environment, however they have > recently released an entry into the "no SQL" arena which I believe is free > and is just a rebadge of their isam - company name is Synergex from > Sacramento in ca / I have a regular monthly Skype call with their CEO this > Friday - and can ask some questions for you.
