SourceForge.net: Raquel DB System - Project Web Hosting

General

This is the Homepage of the SourceForge Raquel DB System website, ("raqueldbsystem"), which supports the Raquel Database System Project.

The project was registered on SourceForge.net on
3 September, 2009.

See the RAQUEL Database System website for comprehensive information about the Raquel Database System Project.

This purpose of this SourceForge website is to :

provide program code for downloading and installation,
manage the development of program source code,
provide 'Trackers' that permit the posting of 'tickets' to report bugs, and to request support or additional features.

The SourceForge Technical Homepage of this website is the starting point to access those SourceForge tools used to provide the above facilities,
whereas this Homepage is the access point for standard Open Source information files about the software, plus information about those SourceForge tools used by the project.

Project Information

RAQUEL is the name of a relational database programming language
and also
RAQUEL is the name of the database management system that executes that language.

Open Source Project: The RAQUEL Database System is being developed as an Open Source Project.
A prototype of the system has been published on SourceForge,
together with a simple GUI frontend to illustrate the RAQUEL notation.
Contributors to the project are welcome,
be they potential users or potential developers.

Planned Benefits of the RAQUEL Database System: RAQUEL
A more powerful, flexible and easier-to-use database language than SQL. It is extendable so that it can manipulate a variety of different kinds of data stored in relations (i.e. is automatically object-relational).
DBMS
A modular construction that can be tailored to different kinds of circumstances. It also accommodates plug-ins to support different kinds of data, and (to maximise performance) different kinds of physical storage.
