| Summary : SWI-Prolog ODBC interface
|
Description :
SWI-Prolog is a fast and powerful ISO/Edinburgh-style Prolog compiler with a
rich set of built-in predicates. It offers a fast, robust and small
environment which enables substantial applications to be developed with it.
SWI-Prolog additionally offers:
* A powerful module system
* Garbage collection
* Unicode character set handling
* Unbounted integer and rational number arithmetic
* Multithreading support
* A powerful C/C++ interface
* GNU Readline interface
The value of RDMS for Prolog is often overestimated, as Prolog itself can
manage substantial amounts of data. Nevertheless a Prolog/RDMS interface
provides advantages if data is already provided in an RDMS, data must be
shared with other applications, there are strong persistence requirements or
there is too much data to fit in memory.
The popularity of ODBC makes it possible to design a single foreign-language
module that provides RDMS access for a wide variety of databases on a wide
variety of platforms. The SWI-Prolog RDMS interface is closely modeled after
the ODBC API. This API is rather low-level, but defaults and dynamic typing
provided by Prolog give the user quite simple access to RDMS, while the
interface provides the best possible performance given the RDMS independence
constraint.
