DBMS

A Database Management System, or DBMS, is a program or set of programs for managing databases.

Description edit

A DBMS is typically responsible for

providing storage for a structured, integrated, coherent collection of data
allowing the collection of data to always represent the current state of some part of the real world
providing the current state to an organisation which needs it to function
ensuring that the current state is correctly represented
allowing access to and use of the collection of data by one or more applications and/or users
providing protection for crucial data for the organisation using it

To carry out these responsibilites a DBMS usually features:

data structure definition facilities with provision for specifying and enforcing relationships between different types of data.
a data update facility
query languages and tools
provision for integrity checks
access and concurrency management
backup and recovery facilities

adb: a pure-tcl database engine with optional (non-pure) extensions to MySQL and XML
TclVSdb: Very Simple Database package Native Tcl database facility, written in Tcl
Starbase.tcl
A simple database: RS: Here I want to explore how a database can be implemented in the Tcl spirit of simplicity, and how far that approach takes us
ANSI color control: tables of pre-defined columns, and something that mimics SQL SELECT a bit

Metakit: has a wonderful Tcl binding that makes all the power of Metakit available in a natural and intuitive way.
