Publisher review:Flat-File SQL is a way to use SQL queries without having another database installed. Flat-File SQL (or fSQL for short) is a way to use SQL queries without having another database (like mySQL) installed.
It uses regular files that you store wherever you want. At the moment, there is only a PHP version, but a perl version and possibly other language ports are planned.
There are several advantages to using fSQL over regular flat-files:
- fSQL allows you to take advantage of SQL queries to easily manipulate and extract data without having to do it manually using the native file API
- fSQL has a fully object-oriented API in which the methods are similiar to the mySQL API to avoid a lot of changes. This allows a program designed for mySQL to easily be ported to a flat-file system without any drastic changes.
- fSQL supports all the essential SQL commands and mimics mySQL syntax and features as fully as possible.
- fSQL offers some new and rare query commands such as SEARCH and MERGE to simplify other normally long tasks.
