I have been looking for a set of library routines which I can use for
a database project. I have purchased three packages, none of which
really did what I need. I will briefly describe the requirements, and
hopefully someone can point me to source which will work. I would not
object to public domain, but it's not a requirement.
I have data which requires building a set of indices into the main
data file. There are duplicate keys. This is the set of what I need:
multiple indices open (separate files or threads)
ability to have duplicate keys (including a selective delete)
obviously the usual db things, create, add, search, and delete,
with whatever need be added to allow reasonable handling of
the duplicate keys.
I have a real hack running now, but in the long run I need something
in source, solid and reliable, so I can run the applications in DOS,
UNIX, and VMS (at least).
