Or maybe I'm just not explaining it correctly?
Hi Chuck,
I, for one, am unsure of your definition of OODB or the specific db structure you wish to support. I started a response to your original query re OODB; but trashed it because (a) I wasn't sure it was pertinent and (b) I could not find and current links to the product on the 'net.
Before discussions on the HyperCard List convinced me to write my own database, I purchased a license for Answer Software's HyBase [I'm hazy on the company name, it was in Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, or thereabouts].
HyBase was touted as a fourth-generation database capable of supporting code segments and objects. It was delivered as a set of extensions in HyperTalk external format. It looked promising & powerful to me; but (1) it was overkill for my needs and (2) by using my own db I have no liability for royalties when distributing my products.
I really don't know if this has any relevance to your question; but if you want to take another shot at describing the data structure(s) and functionality you want to support, I'll ponder whether/how one might support them in SDB.
