A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Giampaolo Gallo <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: Dbrb
System name: dbrb
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project
Description:
This software, called dbrb, implements a client-server database independent
interface. Its architecture is based on a server program that interfaces to one
or more RDBMS and clients that interact with the server using a simple
protocol. The application program (in C, Perl, Php, Java etc.) does not talk
directly to the RDBMS but forwards its queries to the dbrb server which in turn
forwards them to the database engine.
Supported free databases:
- mysql http://www.mysql.com
- postgresql http://www.postgresql.org
Although this project is released under the GNU GPL it provides
support for some non-free databases:
- informix
- IBM-db2
- oracle
- msql-2
All these database are not all equally supported. The documentation
is not yet up to date.
RDBMS are supported through modules that can be omitted without
compromising the software functionality.
The project already exists and will be soon available for download
at http://www.iws.it/dbrb. The modules for the proprietary databases
will be free and available separately if their distribution will be found
compatible with the GPL or the LGPL.
Other Software Required:
