Bug#527152: O: nosql -- a Relational Database Management System for Unix
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the nosql package.
The package description is:
NoSQL is a fast, portable, relational database management system without
arbitrary limits, (other than memory and processor speed) that runs under,
and interacts with, the UNIX Operating System.
.
It uses the Operator/Stream DBMS paradigm described in "Unix Review",
March, 1991, page 24, entitled "A 4GL Language". There are a number of
"operators" that each perform a unique function on the data. The "stream"
is supplied by the UNIX Input/Output redirection mechanism. Therefore each
operator processes some data and then passes it along to the next operator
via the UNIX pipe function. This is very efficient as UNIX pipes are
implemented in memory. NoSQL is compliant with the "Relational Model".
.
*NOTE*: This is a new, re-designed, more performant upstream release which
is no longer command-line compatible with NoSQL V2 _and_ V3.
.
The commands are in /usr/lib/nosql in order to not clutter up
/usr/bin.
.
NOTE about script compatibility: review the script options and script
names when upgrading.
.
NOTE about data compatibility:
You can convert old tables with rdbtotable.
