This library was written in 1989 as a basis for storing C++ objects in a relational database. The development of such a system was stopped in 1990 because of problems with the MS-DOS environment used in this time. My involvement in various user interface projects here in the institute and otherwhere made it sleep until last week.
Okay, here is it. It is only the database access layer of the projected object storage system but it has some useful features which are provided by commercial tools out there:
* Builds on the C language interface of a database, there is no need for a precompiler (like embedded SQL - which is totally unusable in combination with C++, at least it was three years ago...)
* Very simple to use. Unlike the native C interfaces of the databases it is as simple as embedded SQL or some 4th generation languages.
* Makes applications portable among different SQL databases. The library itself is relatively easy to port as the database vendor specific code
