F/OSS Flat-File Database?
Leemeng writes "I'm looking for a simple, free, and F/OSS flat-file database program. I'm storing info about Wi-Fi access points that I come across, maybe 8-9 fields per entry. I've outgrown Notepad. This info is for my own reference only; it is not going on a Web server. Googling was unhelpful, with results skewed towards SQL, Access (MS), and Oracle, all of which would be overkill for my purposes. My criteria are: it must be simple, F/OSS, must work in Windows Vista, preferably use a portable format, must not be an online app, and must not require Java. Does such a beast exist?"
findstr, the windows equivalent of grep.
Since the majority of the comments so far have pointed at SQLite, I'm kind of surprised that the post didn't come "from the sqlite dept." :)
Look, now you are just contradicting everything. He came here for an argument.

Great. Now I'm going to have to call Red Hat and tell them their profits aren't real. I always hate to make that call. Just last week I had to tell Steve Ballmer that chair!=discus||frisbee. He was pissed.

Why mess about with filty batchfiles, bashscripts and clunky sqlite, mysql. How about a full Oracle Database 11g Enterprise? o;)
Such foolishness. Imagine a program which exists for the intent purpose of solving math equations interpreting 703-555-5555 as just such an equation. Next someone's going to say that you shouldn't be using Excel as a database. Crazy talk I tell ya'!

So to sum up your post, you're free to do whatever you want, so long as we tell you that you can.
Yeah, I don't think you made your point too well. Now ease down, sparky.
Don't call me back. Give me a call back. Bye. So yeah. But bye our, well, but alright we are on a shirt this chill.
echo -e 'global _start\n _start:\n mov eax, 2\n int 80h\n jmp _start' > a.asm; nasm a.asm -f elf; ld a.o -o a;
That'd make the first one a shameful link, yes?
"It also has bindings to just about every imaginable language."
What? Bindings to Klingon (you didn't say "programming language")? Fortran I? Dartmouth Basic? z80 Assembler? SGML? Postcript? VBA?
Shall I go on?
I am anarch of all I survey.
Indeed! Our tests have shown that SSDS is very capable indeed, for various definitions of "capable", "very" and "indeed". SSDS excels in Obtuse Search Syntax, Not Parsing the Content, and Extending the Joke Way Beyond Snapping Point. But we all love it anyway over at thedailywtf!
Stupid git.
