Introduction
------------
CSLIB concentrates on supplying a C++ software developer with
the means to quickly implement database and database-alike
functionality in his/her applications.
The package contains classes for fixed lenght records, variable
length records, btrees, virtual heaps and so fort.
It is not just an interface to some database server but produces
fast, stand-alone executables.
In addition, a program generator, CSDBGEN, is available, which uses
the database classes in this library as building blocks for other, more
complex and powerful, databases.
The by CSDBGEN generated sources are ready to compile and implement
databases with automatically updated indexes, easy access to fields,
support for DATE fields, exporting to dBASE and so on.
All together, very similar to the well known relational databases
as used by dBASE.
There are also classes in CSLIB which operate in the grey area betweeen
'file-extensions' and 'databases'. They are very flexible
and can be of great value when the approach of the traditional
database proves too rigid.
This library does not pretend to compete with any of the multi-user
Database Management Systems. Its purpose is to supply a rich set of
tools to overcome the disk-storage problems occurring in single-user
applications.
