Subject: RE:Dedicated database in Icon
Status: R
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@cs.arizona.edu
Apropos Roger Hare's question on database programming, I recall
there is an example in the book "Icon programming for humanists" by
Alan Corre' (name hopefully not misspelled), which may be elaborated
upon.
Perhaps more realistically, chapter 4 of "The AWK programming language"
by Aho, Kernighan and Weinberger (Addison-Wesley 1988, ISBN 0-201-07981-X)
describes a relational database system written entirely in AWK, with
report generation, form letters and query language. Would their model
be useful, at least to get you started?
It would be interesting to hear more about this project.
