Database Abstraction Layer

[gidden]

Create a database abstraction layer.

The abstraction layer should be contain two high-level methods:

• a method to describe a new table layout
• a method to add data to that table

Ideally, the abstraction layer will be able to write to different database formats as per the user's choice. A key difficulty to overcome will be to describe compound data types (the oodbms-ness of ordbms-type data bases) in a generic way.

Have you drawn up a relationship diagram for your sqlite schema? I have just spent several minutes drawing one up that I think would meet our current needs - let me know if you are interested in looking at it. I think the dbase schema needs further discussion.

Again, this is one of the many steps I will be taking before feeling that
the database project is complete. It will require pretty extensive
documentation, among which a relationship diagram is a part.
