Subject: fast functional in-memory database?
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 03:33:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5DCF5682-2408-4F8E-AD92-964A75B77DFB@gmail.com> (raw)
I've looked at APL descendants like J (jsoftware.com) and Q (kx.com),
and found Q very interesting due to its underlying in-memory database,
kdb+. It made me think of a way to experiment with it in OCaml. The
idea is that once you marry vector/list processing with very fast SQL-
like in-memory database, you get a fast and elegant formalism to
transform the data. Is there anything which can be plugged into OCaml
to play the role of the database? I guess even SQLite can be used
with in-memory tables, or better yet PG'OCaml, yet it's the tight
integration seems the main strength of kdb+...
Cheers,
Alexy
