Berekeley DB has been in use from 1986 and its APIs have been offered in various languages such as PHP, Python, C, and Java.<br /><br />ISAM is a general concept used in every kind of database. Some people find WebSimpleDB good for a JavaScript CouchDB. I expect to see a JavaScript SQL compiler on top of WebSimpleDB some day. I think an XQuery compiler could also be written in JavaScript to read/write from WebSimpleDB.<br /><br />I hope that answers your question.Nikunj Mehtahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08819862609445802833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32472356.post-65440743740885152552009-10-14T13:59:20.482-07:002009-10-14T13:59:20.482-07:00Hi<br /><br />I like the proposal and have been interested in making applications / frameworks that work on levels lower than SQL.<br /><br />Can you explain some of rationale behind the interface you have proposed? Is it taken from a certain existing package (I&#39;d like to play with that package if possible)? What kind of frameworks are you expecting will be built on top of it?Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10264942435621382810noreply@blogger.com
