Object Databases..

Hi everyone,

I have been thinking about object databases lately and cannot seem to find an AL licensed object
database (maybe I didn't look good enough though). So I had an idea of getting one of the ground at
Apache. Even though this isn't much of a plan I would like to know if there is possibly any interest
in working on this ?

Mvgr,
Martin

Hi Martin,

None of the object databases that I know of are open source AL or  
BSD. Most are GPL (not even LGPL). But there are some key/value  
persistent stores that might be of interest.

I guess it depends on what you think an object database is, and what  
you want to use it for. Is there a fixed schema? Search capability?  
Relationships among stored instances?

I'm happy to think about the topic while doing chores, but don't have  
much spare cycles to actually do much more than talk. And while  
thinking about it is half the work, implementing it is another 90%  
and testing it is the third 90%. ;-)

Craig

No time available/ lack of time is not a problem. That's only needed for coding and the website,
online discussions.. Thinking about the problem space and possible approaches/solutions is something
that can easily do while cleaning the toilet :) Thinking about it is half the work :)

There are a number of (L)GPLed ones, but you seem to be right, there is
none that is ASL or ASLish licensed.

Interest: Sure. Time is another beast, though... :-)
