NAME

Genezzo - an extensible database with SQL and DBI

SYNOPSIS

# partial DBI interface
use Genezzo::GenDBI; 

# Users can directly create and manipulate database tables using 
# gendba.pl, an interactive line-mode tool.

DESCRIPTION

The Genezzo modules implement a hierarchy of persistent hashes using
a fixed amount of memory and disk.  This system is designed to be
easily configured and extended with custom functions, persistent
storage representations, and novel data access methods.  In its
current incarnation it supports a subset of SQL and a partial
DBI interface.

GETTING STARTED

The simplest way to create an instance of a Genezzo database is to use:

  gendba.pl -init

This command will create a new database and login to the
command-line.  Typing "help" on the command line will list the 
available commands.  Additional help for gendba.pl is available via 
"gendba.pl -help".
