The object database is a low-tech, high performance hierarchic storage system. It stores large amounts of structured data that's quickly and easily accessible. It has the performance characteristics of a file system and symbol tables. The Frontier scripting system builds on this object database technology. Files managed with this library can be accessed by scripts running in the Frontier environment.
Databases are disk-based.
Tables are loaded into memory as they are accessed. Newly-added and changed data remains in memory until a Save. Data accesses are hash-indexed and are very fast. The library can be included in applications or system software without license fee or royalty. UserLand Software retains a copyright on this software.
