Hi Esteban,
why I like it:
- it is similar to SQLite3 very small, just one DLL or shared lib - very portable across many platforms (DB is independent from byte order or 32bit vs. 64 bit) - easy to use - there is already a wrapper now for Pharo :)
"UnQLite is a standard key/value store similar to BerkeleyDB, Tokyo Cabinet, LevelDB, etc. but, with a rich feature set including support for transactions (ACID), concurrent reader, etc. "

Thanks Torsten

Ho Torsten,
well⦠I planned Riak and maybe Tokyo and Omnibase (but when I find the time⦠not much this days). I never thought about UnQLite (and also I never hear about it before :P )
cheers, Esteban

Hi Esteban,
if I understood correctly Voyage is primarily an abstraction layer to access NoSQL databases. Currently MongoDB or the image can be used as a backend.
Are there any other backends available or planned (for instance to UnQLite using PUnqlite [1]).
As UnQLite is an embeddable database of really small size I guess it will be as sucessful for the NoSQL world as SQlite3 was for the relation DBMS world and supporting it as one possible backend for Voyage might be a real plus.
At least I see that MongoDB is 102MB to install before one can use it and unqlite library [2] is only a few KB ;) So it is easier to package, deploy, ... - I havent checked the other features of Mongo vs. PunQlite so far.
Any comments about backends in general or UnQlite in particular?
Thx T.
