JDB: Layout Columns | Queries Σ | API: Structural Records | Client/Server | Implementation | Examples

JDB is a database where columns are mapped J nouns. Compared to a traditional RDBMS:

  • it is straightforward to read/write data from J
  • a task can add new records very efficiently by simply appending to the mapped nouns
  • record searches are very fast on large amounts of data

For an overview and summary of features, see JDB announcement.
