"Digital Mechanics" Project
Digimech server (dmserv)

[up one level] [русский]

This project is devoted to the development of some new ideas in data representation conceptions and to the implementation of database server with appropriate front-end which use these ideas. Primary aim was to develop a tool for creating simple but useful database applications.

The implemented ideas could be shortly listed as following:
(i) The notion of reference instead of notion of unique id. By a reference the row of a data could be quickly retreived from table
(ii) Inheritance of data tables. Two alternative ways to access a data table for reading is the access to a table itself and a generic access to it's ancestor. The last one affects all the descendants.
(iii) Ability to fix some inherited fields in descendant tables.

Concerning the results of this project, it meets in general no understanding. However, some applications were developed and the project proved to be suitable for some tasks. Current version (1.01) could be treated to be stable in basic aspects.
All the code and error messages are in english (or, in my version of english), but any documentation is in russian.

The project was implemented on C++ for gcc compiler under Win32 using wxWidgets library.
