The RTL was discussed on this list at some time in the past. The early version of RTL is described in the March 2004 issue of CUJ. The main difference from currently discussed RML is that we decided against using SQL - like interface, and use the relational algebra-based interface instead.
The most important part for a library like that, is the ability to have the table stored in a file, and only partially mapped into memory. So some tree datastructure like a B+tree is an important requirement for a database library. Any chance that this will happen soon? Maybe you remember that I started an attempt to write such a datastructure, but I lost myself in details and had to give up, as soon as exams took most part of my free time. From the interface point of view, I also prefer the relational algebra "syntax". It somehow looks more familiar to me.
The RTL can currently be compiled with VC7.1 or GCC 3.3+ (although with GCC there might still remain some naming conflicts between MPL and STL, that show up with certain usages)
Because gcc also considers structures when doing adl of a function call? In some previous, and also private discussions you mentioned that you would like to have RTL rewritten, because you made some tradeoffs to support older versions of gcc and vc. Is that versions the overall rewrite? Regards Andreas Pokorny
