I have never used REALbasic to handle data bases before,
and now want to start doing this.
My data base is fairly simple, it mainly contains words and
properties of these words as one or more text strings.
It would be useful if I can search for all words in the
data base beginning with a certain string, e.g. search for
"happ*" and find "happy" and "happiness", etc.
The program I will write will execute for a very long time
(several hours, since it will download information from
websites using HTTP), meaning that there is a risk of
crashes. If there is a crash, it is important that the data
base is intact, so that I can begin processing where it
ended before the crash.
Can anyone give me any advide on things I should think
about. Do you recommend REALbasic's own data base engine?
It's reasonably robust in this regard so it's a decent choice.
Searching for parts of words is not tough IF what you've indicated is
the sort of thing you generally want to do.
