Rekall Now Available Under GPL

Karma Sucks writes "Rekall is one of those killer apps alongside Scribus, Evolution, OpenOffice and Mozilla that could make all the difference for Linux desktop productivity. For those of you not in the know, Rekall is a RAD DBMS similar to MS Access or Paradox and has now been GPL'ed by theKompany. Community development and organization is to take place on rekallrevealed.org."

I work for a fairly large pharmaceutical firm here in Florida and I have to say that ReckAll has exceeded all of our expections. We feel confident that this product can replace M$ Access and Borland JQueryBuilder on our analyst's workstations. One of the best features is its MiniSQL scripting language which reduces the SQL query syntax substantially. Mind you, we've only seen the demos by the local vendor but it is really promising.

In regards to connecting to legacy data warehouses we're quite impressed. We have CP/M database that runs under Sinclair's Relation Database Format (RDF) which contains about 20 Gigs of UK customer data. We found that RekAl could extract the necessary reports in about half the time.

We're compiling our findings and will present our findings to our director in the next couple months. Knowing how keen he is on low-cost Open Source solutions, I'm sure we'll deploy through the organization.

Which is nice.

Windows gives you IE and... Notepad. Way to go, GNU/Linux!

Sorry, but this is blatant FUD. Every version of windows to date, with the notable exception of the OS on the X-Box, has included Solitaire. So there.

theKompany will sell you a version for Windows. The code, however, requires Qt Free Edition. To quote rekallrevealed.org:

Rekall can build to run under Windows, however since this (currently) requires a commercial license for QT, we have not included the windows-specific parts of the code tree.

You can thank Trolltech for that.
