Description: a Relational Database Management System for Unix.
NoSQL is a fast, portable, relational database management system without
arbitrary limits, (other than memory and processor speed) that runs under,
and interacts with, the UNIX Operating System.
.
It uses the Operator/Stream DBMS paradigm described in "Unix Review",
March, 1991, page 24, entitled "A 4GL Language". There are a number of
"operators" that each perform a unique function on the data. The "stream"
is suplied by the UNIX Input/Output redirection mechanism. Therefore each
operator processes some data and then passes it along to the next operator
via the UNIX pipe function. This is very efficient as UNIX pipes are
implemented in memory. NoSQL is compliant with the "Relational Model".
Read the document "4gl.ps", included with the distribution, for further
details.
